Abstract excerpt
The genetic polymorphism of TP53 codon 72 is thought to have significant effect on lung cancer risk, but the results are inconsistent. In this meta-analysis, we assessed 23 published studies involving 15,857 subjects of the association between TP53 codon 72 polymorphism and risk of lung cancer. For the homozygote Pro/Pro and Pro allele carriers (Pro/Pro+Pro/Arg), the ORs for all studies combined (7495 cases and...
