Abstract excerpt
A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the promoter of the MDM2 gene, SNP309 (a T-->G change), was recently implicated in the early onset of cancer in individuals with Li-Fraumeni syndrome and of sporadic soft-tissue sarcoma. SNP309 induces an increase in the level of Mdm2 protein, which causes attenuation of the p53 pathway. To investigate the effect of this polymorphism in colorectal cancer pathogenesis, we...
