The tumor suppressor protein p53 (TP53) plays a central role in directing cellular responses to DNA damage. Tumor protein 53-binding protein 1 (TP53BP1) binds to TP53 and has a potential role in DNA damage responses. DNA damage-dependent interaction between TP53 and TP53BP1 may contribute to lung cancer risk. We aimed to assess whether or not TP53 and TP53BP1 genetic polymorphisms modulate lung cancer...
