Abstract excerpt
Murine double minute 4 (MDM4) shares significant structural homology with murine double minute 2 (MDM2) and interacts and regulates transcriptional activity of the tumor suppressor p53. In tumors with wild-type p53, there is often overexpression of MDM2 or MDM4 leading to functional inactivation of p53. A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the promoter of human MDM2 (SNP309) was shown to associate with...
