Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: MDM2 is a major negative regulator of p53, and a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the MDM2 promoter region SNP309 (rs2279744) has been shown to increase the affinity of the transcriptional activator Sp1, resulting in elevated MDM2 transcription and expression in some cancers. The aim of this study was to determine whether SNP309 is associated with susceptibility to gastric cancer in...
