Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: A regulated p53-dependent stress response is crucial in suppressing tumor formation and mediating the response to commonly used cancer therapeutics. However, little is known about the human, inherited genetics of this important signaling pathway. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Studies of human genetic variants in the p53 tumor suppressor gene and MDM2 oncogene have shown that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP)...
