Dinucleotide polymorphism of <i>p73</i> gene is associated with a reduced risk of lung cancer in a Chinese population

Abstract excerpt

p73, a structural and functional homologue of p53, shares some p53-like tumor suppressor activity but also possesses oncogenic activity. Therefore, p73 plays an important role in modulating cell-cycle control and apoptosis. A potentially functional dinucleotide polymorphism, G4C14-to-A4T14, has been identified in the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of exon 2 of the p73 gene, which may theoretically form a stem-loop...
