Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The MDM2 oncoprotein promotes cell survival and cell cycle progression by inhibiting the p53 tumour suppressor protein. Further, overexpression of the MDM2 gene can inhibit DNA double-strand break repair in a p53-independent manner. Recent studies have shown that a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the intronic promoter region of MDM2 (called SNP309) can significantly change the expression of...
