Is the p53 codon 72 polymorphism a key biomarker for cervical cancer development? A meta-analysis review within European populations.

Abstract excerpt

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the necessary cause for cervical cancer development, and the interaction of HPV-E6 with p53 is known as the most important event in HPV-associated carcinogenesis. In vitro studies have suggested that HPV-E6 interacts more efficiently with the arginine (Arg) p53 variant at position 72 as it appears to be more susceptible to degradation through the ubiquitin proteasome pathway....
