Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Tumor protein 53-binding protein 1 (TP53BP1) and TP53 interact during TP53-mediated transcriptional activation and during checkpoint activation in response to DNA damage. Because suboptimal repair of tobacco-induced DNA damage is associated with risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), we hypothesized that potentially functional polymorphisms in TP53BP1 and TP53 may contribute...
