Abstract excerpt
The MDM4 protein plays an important part in the negative regulation of the tumor suppressor p53 through its interaction with MDM2. In line with this, MDM4 amplification has been observed in several tumor forms. A polymorphism (rs4245739 A>C; SNP34091) in the MDM4 3' untranslated region has been reported to create a target site for hsa-miR-191, resulting in decreased MDM4 mRNA levels. In this population-based...
