p53 R72P Alone and in Combination with MDM2 SNP T309G is Associated with Colon Carcinoma Incidence and Survival
Author(s): Mannan A, Ahmad A and Hahn-Strömberg V Mannan A, Ahmad A and Hahn-Strömberg V
Introduction: Protein p53 is encoded by tumor suppressor TP53, which regulates key cellular functions such as transcription, cell cycle arrest, DNA repair and apoptosis. Murine double minute 2 homolog (MDM2), a p53 transcribed protein, negatively regulates p53. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at codon 72 of TP53 (R72P, rs rs1042522) alters an amino acid, while an SNP T309G (rs2279744) polymorphism (SNPT309G) in the promoter region of MDM2 has been reported to modulate its transcription. p53 R72P and MDM2 SNPT309G have been reported to associate alone and or in combination with various carcinomas. In this study, we aimed to determine if p53 R72P and MDM2 SNPT309G polymorphism alone or in combination are associated with colon carcinoma incidence, tumor progression and/or patient survival in Swedish population. Materials and methods: We determined polymorphisms in 151 colon carcin.. View More»
