Abstract excerpt
The tumor suppressor p53 and its negative regulator MDM2 have crucial roles in a variety of cellular functions such as the control of the cell cycle, senescence, genome stability and apoptosis, and are frequently deregulated in carcinogenesis. Previous studies have highlighted the contribution of the common functional polymorphisms p53 p.Arg72Pro and MDM2 309SNP to the risk of both common cancers and Li-Fraumeni...
