Abstract excerpt
A few genetic polymorphisms of TP53 are known to have a significant effect on cancer susceptibility. Intron 3 16 bp duplication polymorphism of TP53 has been reported to be associated with breast cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer and other cancers, but the reported results remain inconclusive. The present study, a meta-analysis including a total of 9801 cases and 10,391 controls from 26 studies, revealed...
