In the Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) resulting from germline TP53 mutations, the MDM2 SNP309G allele has been shown to be associated with an earlier age of tumour onset, however the significance of this association is controversial. The 285C variation, also located in the MDM2 promoter, has been shown to reduce the strength of Sp1 binding to MDM2 promoter, antagonizing the effect of the 309G variation. In this...
