p53 intronic G13964C variant in colon cancer and its association with HPV.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Inactivation of p53 is the most common change identified in human cancer. Nucleotide alterations in p53 intron 6 have been reported to be associated with the dysregulation of p53 function and tumor development. The aim of our study was to assess whether the intron 6 G13964C variant of the p53 gene is associated with the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) as a risk factor in colon cancer. MATERIALS...
