Abstract excerpt
MDM2 is a phosphoprotein that interacts with p53 and inhibits its activity. Recently, a T to G substitution (SNP309) in the promoter of MDM2 was identified and associated with increased MDM2 expression and a significantly earlier age of onset of several tumors, including colorectal cancer. Several studies evaluated the association between SNP309 and colorectal cancer risk in diverse populations. However, the...
