Combined effects of the p53 codon 72 and p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphisms on the risk of HPV16-associated oral cancer in never-smokers
6 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
Because p53 and p73 are associated with critical cellular processes and can be inactivated or degraded by the human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 oncoprotein, we investigated the combined effects of p53 codon 72 and p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphisms on the risk of HPV16-associated oral cancer. We analyzed genotype data from 326 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity or oropharynx and 349 cancer-free...
