introduction: endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder among women which is diagnosed by the growth of endometrial tissue outside of uterus and is mainly accompanied by severe pelvic pain and infertility. p53 also known as cellular tumor antigen p53 inside codons 11, 72 and 248 are contained with single nucleotide changes in which tends to be nearly rampant.this will probably be incr...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between p53 polymorphisms and human papillomavirus (HPV) E6/E7 mRNA expression. METHODS We analyzed 175 cervical samples from women aged 16-69 years old who were tested for HPV E6/E7 mRNA expression (NucliSENS® EasyQ® HPV). The samples were divided into three groups: positive (n=75) those with positive HPV E6/E7 mRNA expression and positive high-risk HPV ...

Early detection of a mutated p53 gene is thought to provide useful information in a wide range of human tumors. The aim of this study was to identify the role of the p53 gene in transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary tract. From March 1992 to July 2003, 75 patients (54 men and 21 women) with a mean age of 66.85 years and pathologically diagnosed transitional cell carcinoma were enrolled in ...

Human papilloma virus (HPV) is considered to be responsible for a large part of vaginal and vulvar carcinomas, and the p53 codon 72 polymorphism has been implicated in susceptibility to cancer induced by this virus, but with contradicting results. In this study, we have investigated the prognostic value of the codon 72 polymorphism by real-time PCR (qPCR) in two cohorts of vaginal (n = 66) and ...

objective(s) p53 is an important tumor suppressor, which is mutated in later stages of many cancers and leads to resistance to chemotherapy. the aim of this study was to reveal mutations of tp53 in colorectal cancer in kerman province. materials and methods a total of forty-three colon cancer specimens as paraffin block or fresh tissues, which passed stage iiia, were selected. three exons 5, 7 ...

Certain polymorphic variants of H-ras-1 and p53 have been investigated for an association between inheritance and cancer risk. The results of a metaanalysis, which reviews studies of H-ras-1 rare alleles and p53 codon 72 allelic variants in breast and lung cancer, are presented. The data constituted evidence for elevated risk of both breast and lung cancer with inheritance of rare H-ras-1 allel...

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...
