The 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 کاملp53 codon 72 polymorphism and risk of cervical cancer in UK.
BACKGROUND A polymorphism at codon 72 of the human tumour-suppressor gene, p53, results in translation to either arginine or proline. A recent report suggested that the risk of human-papillomavirus-associated cervical cancer in white women is higher for those homozygous for the arginine allele than for those who are heterozygous. We examined a similar number of cervical cancers and a larger con...
متن کاملp53 codon 72 polymorphism and risk of cervical carcinoma in Korean women.
A common polymorphism of the wild type p53 is known at codon 72 of exon 4, with 2 alleles encoding either arginine (CGC, p53Arg) or proline (CCC, p53Pro). A recent study suggested that this polymorphism affects the susceptibility of p53 protein to human papillomavirus E6 oncoprotein mediated degradation and that individuals homozygous for p53Arg are seven times more susceptible to HPV-associate...

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 کاملp53 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...
