Abstract excerpt
MDM2 SNP309 is a single nucleotide T > G polymorphism present in intron 1 of the MDM2 gene. A variety of case-control studies have been published evaluating the association between MDM2 SNP309 and breast cancer risk. However, the published studies, as well as the subsequent meta-analyses, have yielded contradictory results. This meta-analysis aims to examine whether MDM SNP309 polymorphism may exert a...
