摘要：

The gene encoding the tumour suppressor protein p53 is one of the most commonly mutated genes in human cancers, Analysis of the mutational events that target the p53 gene has revealed evidence for both exogenous and endogenous mutational mechanisms, For example, the p53 mutational spectrum reveals evidence for a direct causal effect of ultraviolet radiation in skin cancer, of aflatoxin B1 in liver cancer and of tobacco smoke in lung cancer, This novel field, molecular epidemiology of human cancer risk, has added a new dimension to classical associative epidemiology by providing a direct link between human cancer and carcinogen exposure.
