Abstract excerpt
The TP53 polymorphism occurs at codon 72 of exon 4 with two alleles encoding either arginine or proline. The association between this common polymorphism and risk of different cancers has been extensive studied, however various reports are controversial. We have analyzed the 72Pro polymorphic variant in patients with adrenocortical tumors to evaluate whether 72G--> C substitution at codon 72 of TP53 gene may be...
