Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: p53, which is encoded by the tumor suppressor gene TP53, plays a crucial role in the regulation of mechanisms of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Some SNPs of TP53, involving a different apoptotic ability of p53, have been associated with increased susceptibility to develop autoimmune diseases as well as cancer. We investigated the genotypic distribution of TP53 exon 4 SNPs in a cohort of Caucasian...
