Abstract excerpt
AIMS: p21(Waf1/Cip1) is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor that is pivotal in arresting cellular growth in terminal cell differentiation and apoptosis. Thus, the existence of natural variants of p21(Waf1/Cip1) could be linked to specific cancer. The purpose of this report was to identify a novel tri-allelic insertion/deletion (INDEL) polymorphism (rs4135235) involving a poly-T sequence in the promoter region of...
