Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The p53 codon 72 polymorphism, which results in either an arginine or proline residue, plays a different role in vitro and in vivo in cell survival and drug resistance. We verified, in vitro, the impact of the arginine allele on cell survival under normoxia and hypoxia, and investigated in vivo the role of p53 codon 72 arginine homozygosity in the clinical outcome of advanced breast cancer patients....
