Abstract excerpt
The tumor suppressor p53 plays a crucial role in maintaining genomic stability and tumor prevention. Murine double-minute 2 (MDM2) oncoprotein plays a pivotal role in regulating p53, and the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) 309T/G SNP in the promoter region of Mdm2 has been shown to be associated with increased risk of cancer. We investigated the association between Mdm2-309 promoter polymorphism, plasma MDM2...
