Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Osteosarcoma (OS) has been well described in individuals with germ-line TP53 mutations (Li-Fraumeni Syndrome) but typically occurs sporadically in adolescents and young adults. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), the most common germ-line genetic variation, have been associated with risk for other types of cancer. We hypothesized that genetic variation in TP53 could be associated with OS risk...
