Abstract excerpt
The recently identified single nucleotide polymorphism in the MDM2 promoter (SNP 309) may contribute to the early onset of both sporadic and hereditary malignancies in patients with defective p53. We tested this hypothesis by examining the effects of combined MDM2 polymorphisms and somatic p53 mutations on 351 oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) associated with areca quid chewing. We found that the G allele of...
