Abstract excerpt
Inherent radiosensitivity varies widely between individuals. We hypothesized that amino acid substitution variants in two highly radiation-responsive proteins, TP53 (p53) and CDKN1A (p21, Waf1, Cip1), are associated with and could explain individual variations in radiosensitivity. The two non-synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) TP53 codon 72 Arg/Pro G>C and CDKN1A codon 31 Ser/Arg C>A were genotyped...
