Recently, a T/G substitution (SNP309) in the promoter of MDM2 was identified and has been demonstrated to be associated with an increased MDM2 expression and a significantly earlier age of onset of several tumors, including breast cancer. To test the hypothesis that this functional variant in the MDM2 promoter is associated with risk of...
