Abstract excerpt
To examine the possible association between cervical cancer and p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 in exon 2 and p53 Arg72Pro polymorphisms, an incident case-control study was conducted in Japanese. The cases were 112 cervical cancer patients. Controls were 320 healthy women and 122 non-cancer female outpatients. Risk estimation for each genotype by an unconditional logistic model demonstrated a possible association between the...
