Abstract excerpt
The tumor suppressor gene, TP53, is located on chromosome 17p13.1 and is critical for DNA repair, cell-cycle control, and apoptosis. TP53 also plays a crucial function in the tumorigenesis of lung cancer. Inactivation of TP53 via genetic alterations such as missense mutations is often associated with lung cancer. In this study, potential association of TP53 polymorphisms with the risk of lung cancer was examined...
