Abstract excerpt
Genomic and immunologic surveillance mechanisms are crucial in protection from cancer. The tumor suppressor protein p53, encoded by TP53, is a major regulator of genome surveillance. Among the natural sequence variants of TP53, rs1042522 (R72P) modifies the risk for solid tumors. To investigate its relevance in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) susceptibility, we genotyped 114 cases and 414 newborn...
