background : colorectal cancer is the second cause of mortality in developed countries. the p53gene and some of it's polymorphisms are among the causes for cancer development.the purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the p53 codon 72 polymorphism in colorectal adenocarcinoma specimens compared with controls. materials and methods : we performed a case-control study among...

background: glaucomatous neuropathy is a type of cell death due to apoptosis. the p53 gene is one of the regulatory genes of apoptosis. recently, the association between the p53 gene encoding for proline at codon 72 and primary open-angle glaucoma (poag) has been studied in some ethnic groups. this study is the first association analysis of poag and p53 codon 72 polymorphism in iranian patients...

the tp53 gene is one of the most frequently mutated genes amongst human malignancies, particularly tp53 codon 72 polymorphism. furthermore, an association between the tp53 codon 72 variants and prostate cancer has been reported in several studies. although some studies have indicated an association between the tp53 arg/arg variant and an increased risk for prostate cancer, other studies have sh...

backgrounds and aims: p53 gene is regarded important in pathogenesis of different cancers. therefore, this study aimed to investigate the frequency of p53 gene codon 72 arg/pro polymorphism in women suffering from breast cancer. materials and methods: a total of 90 patients with breast cancer and 83 matched healthy control women participated in this case-control study. genomic dna was extracted...

Background: The p53 tumor suppressor gene plays important roles in genomic stability. Several reports have noted racial differences in the prevalence of p53 genotypes at the codon 72 in patients with endometriosis.To study the association of endometriosis with p53 codon 72 polymorphism in the population of Isfahan. Materials and Methods: We undertook a case–control study to examine the possible...

background: in prostate cancer, mutated p53 alleles typically contain missense single-base substitution in codon 72 that resides within exons 5-8. stable p53 proteins in tumor cell nuclei have been associated with malignancy. a role of p53 is the regulation of drug transporters like abcc1 (mrp1) by an effect on promoter region.objectives: the objective of this study was to identify association ...

  Abstract   Background: The polymorphic variants at codon 72 of the p53 gene, encoding either   proline or arginine at residue 72, produce marked change in the structure of p53.   From the evidence that the DNAmismatch repair system and p53 interact to maintain   genomic integrity, we hypothesized that the codon 72 variation may influence the   prevalence of microsatellite instability a featur...
