Abstract excerpt
The WRAP53 (WD40-encoding RNA antisense to p53) gene encodes an antisense RNA, essential for p53 stabilization and induction upon DNA damage. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in WRAP53 have been associated with risk of cancer, which strengthens the role of WRAP53 in the pathogenesis of human malignancies. In fact, WRAP53 has been considered as a candidate cancer susceptibility gene. Accordingly, we...
