Abstract excerpt
A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP309T>G) in the intronic promoter of MDM2 was recently found to accelerate carcinogenesis in early-onset cancer cases. This cancer acceleration presumably was due to increased SP1 binding, resulting in enhanced MDM2 transcriptional activation by estrogens. We e...
