Abstract excerpt
p21 protein is a cell cycle regulator that induces G1 arrest, leading to DNA repair or apoptosis. Previous studies have shown that p21 polymorphism in codon 31 (Ser 31 Arg) may play a role in susceptibility to cancer. However, the results from the published studies are conflicting. To derive a more precise estimation of association between the p21 Ser31Arg polymorphism and risk of cancer, we performed a...
