TP53 polymorphisms and lung cancer risk: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Abstract excerpt

To examine the risk of lung cancer associated with the codon 72, intron 6 and intron 3 TP53 polymorphisms a meta-analysis of published case-control studies was undertaken. The principle outcome measure was the odds ratio (OR) for the risk of lung cancer using homozygosity of the 'wild-type allele' as the reference group. Data from 13 studies detailing the relationship between lung cancer and the codon 72...
