Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease with numerous genetic abnormalities corresponding to a variety of subtypes. p53 is involved in multiple cellular pathways including apoptosis, transcriptional control, and cell cycle regulation. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at codon 72 of the p53 gene is associated with the risk for development of various neoplasms. MDM2 SNP309 is a...
