p53 codon 72 polymorphism and human papillomavirus associated skin cancer.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Non-melanoma skin cancers frequently harbour multiple human papillomavirus (HPV) types. A recent report suggests that a polymorphism of the p53 tumour suppressor gene that results in the substitution of a proline residue with an arginine residue at position 72 of the p53 protein might act as a risk factor in HPV associated malignancies. This study aimed to determine the followin...
متن کامل“p53 Polymorphism at Codon 72 and Breast Cancer” - Letter
We read with interest the recently published systematic review and meta-analysis titled “The Evaluation of p53 Polymorphism at Codon 72 and Association With Breast Cancer in Iran: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis”. We believe that there are few important issues in the systematic review and meta-analysis that require clarification. A key characteristic of a systematic review is a comprehens...
متن کاملThe p53 codon 72 polymorphism and lung cancer risk.
The p53 tumor suppressor gene frequently is mutated in many forms of human carcinomas. A common polymorphism occurs at codon 72 of exon 4, with two alleles encoding either arginine (CGC) or proline (CCC). This p53 polymorphism reportedly is associated with lung cancer susceptibility. However, not all investigations have been consistent, and this hypothesized association remains controversial. W...
متن کاملRelationship between p53 codon 72 polymorphism and susceptibility to sunburn and skin cancer.
Upregulation of p53 protein induces either growth arrest or apoptosis in response to cellular injury This is signaled from a highly conserved p53 domain between codons 64 and 92, where a functional polymorphism results in either a proline (p53-72P) or an arginine (p53-72R) at codon 72. Preliminary studies suggest that p53-72R may be a risk factor for cervical cancer and, consistent with this, p...
متن کاملP53 codon 72 polymorphism in Taiwanese breast cancer patients.
There are clear discrepancies between ethnicity and geographic area regarding the peak age incidence and mortality of breast cancer. Underlying variances include genetic, environmental, and socioeconomic factors. The wild-type p53 codon has two common polymorphic variants from a single-base-pair substitution at codon 72, where either C-C-C encodes proline (p53-p72) or C-G-C encodes arginine (p5...
