Abstract excerpt
Mdm2 is an ubiquitin ligase, which binds p53 and blocks its function as a transcription factor in the pathway of apoptosis. Recently we have showed that the SNP mdm2 T309G has a protective effect of the minor allele in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, a functional impact on apoptosis by the different genotypes of the mdm2 SNP has not been investigated. Genomic DNA was obtained from 49 cell lines of...
