Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have suggested that genetic polymorphisms in the TP53 pathway influence tumour formation, progression and response to therapy. We analysed the three most common TP53 gene polymorphisms as potential genetic markers to predict the development and prognosis of breast cancer. The incidence of R72P, PIN3 Ins 16bp and PIN6 G13494A polymorphisms was determined in a cohort of 117 breast cancer tissues and...
