BACKGROUND: While large GWAS analyses have not found convincing associations between MDM2 promoter SNP55 and gynaecological cancers, SNP55 is in linkage disequilibrium with two other functional SNPs in the same promoter, likely to obscure associations between single SNPs and cancer risk. Here, we assessed the impact of SNP55 on risk of endometrial and ovarian cancer, including sub-analyses stratified for other...
