Association of <i>p73</i> G4C14‐to‐A4T14 polymorphism with human papillomavirus type 16 status in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck in non‐Hispanic whites

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The tumor protein p73 interacts with the human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) oncoproteins E6 and E7, and p73 variation may modify the interaction between p73 protein and HPV-16 oncogenic proteins and contribute to cellular malignant transformation. METHODS: In this case-case comparison study, the authors analyzed HPV-16 status in tumor specimens and genotyped the p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphism...
