Abstract excerpt
The p53 protein and its regulator MDM2 is central to tumorigenesis by directing cells to undergo cell cycle arrest and/or apoptosis in response to DNA damage or other stress signals. The genes encoding these proteins contain nucleotide variation (p53 codon 72, MDM2 SNP309) that influences cellular response. We examined the p53 codon 72 and MDM2 SNP309 to determine their implication with age of disease onset and...
