Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Defective p53-mediated apoptosis and cell cycle control have been implicated in the immunopathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD). Since common functional variants of p53 (SNP72 G/C) and its key negative regulator mdm2 (SNP309 T/G) have been reported to affect cellular apoptotic and cell cycle arrest capacities, we assessed the effects of these variants on CD susceptibility and their relationship to...
