Abstract excerpt
The MDM2 protein negatively regulates p53 expression level in modulating DNA repair, cell-cycle control, cell growth and apoptosis. Polymorphisms in the promoter region of the MDM2 gene have been shown to alter protein expression and may, thus, play a role in carcinogenesis. To test our hypothesi...
