Abstract excerpt
Circumvention of the p53 checkpoint in neuroblastoma (NB) might arise from increased expression of its main negative regulator MDM2. The SNP309, a T-to-G substitution in the MDM2 promoter, was associated with higher levels of MDM2 mRNA and protein, with consequent attenuation of the p53 pathway. The association between MDM2 SNP309 and disease progression and survival was evaluated in a cohort of 142 children with...
