1987: Normal cytotoxic response of skin fibroblasts from patients with Li-Fraumeni familial cancer syndrome to DNA-damaging agents in vitro
Researchers tested cells from people with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS), a genetic condition that increases cancer risk, to see how they respond to DNA-damaging agents like X-rays. They found no significant differences between the cells of affected individuals and those of unaffected relatives or controls, suggesting this method might not be useful for identifying at-risk
