Abstract excerpt
The potentially functional polymorphism, SNP309, in the promoter region of MDM2 gene has been implicated in cancer risk, but individual published studies showed inconclusive results. To obtain a more precise estimate of the association between MDM2 SNP309 and risk of cancer, we performed a meta-analysis of 70 individual studies in 59 publications that included 26,160 cases with different types of tumors and...
