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...

the tp53 tumor suppressor gene plays important roles in genomic stability. a common polymorphism at codon 72 of tp53 gene has been associated with increased risk for many human cancers. the p53 protein is expressed in colorectal cancer, but the reported prevalence of its expression varies widely. in the present study, the p53 protein expression in different genotypes of its codon 72 , was inves...

UNLABELLED Defects in the tumor suppressor gene TP53 are known to be important in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and TP53 inactivation is associated with a particularly aggressive form of the disease. The single nucleotide polymorphism in the TP53 gene at codon 72 (rs1042522), results in amino acid substitution influencing apoptotic potential of TP53 protein. The aim of the study was to eva...

background: the tp53 gene is the most important tumor suppressor gene in humans. the aim of our study was to determine the genotype frequency of three common tp53 polymorphisms (codon 72 bstui and intron 6 mspi, as well as the intron 3) in a group of iranian women with and without breast cancer. methods: paraffin-embedded specimens of 65 malignant breast cancer cases and 65 cases with benign br...

Background: TP53 is a recently be suspected to be involves in neural apoptotic events. Also, TP53 codon72 and long-form variants of DRD4 uVNTR polymorphism are reported to be conferred susceptibility to schizophrenia, respectively. Methods: Nine hundred and thirty-four schizophrenia patients and 433 healthy individuals were recruited, genotyped for TP53 codon72 and DRD4 uVNTR polymorphism by us...

The role of a polymorphism at position 72 of the tumor suppressor gene TP53 in the development of cervical cancer is not well established. The arginine variant of the p53 protein could be more susceptible to degradation by human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 protein than the protein containing proline. Recent studies show controversial results. We investigated a possible association between TP53 poly...

BACKGROUND: A common polymorphism at codon 72 of TP53 gene has been associated with increased risk for many human cancers. We studied this TP53 polymorphism in colorectal adenocarcinomas in small population selected from Isfahan city. METHODS: Samples: We undertook a case-control study on 180 controls and 180 paraffin block specimens of sporadic colorectal adenocarcinomas. PCR amplification of ...

The tumor suppressor protein p53 (TP53) plays a central role in directing cellular responses to DNA damage. Tumor protein 53-binding protein 1 (TP53BP1) binds to TP53 and has a potential role in DNA damage responses. DNA damage-dependent interaction between TP53 and TP53BP1 may contribute to lung cancer risk. We aimed to assess whether or not TP53 and TP53BP1 genetic polymorphisms modulate lung...

The relationship between the TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism (rs1042522) and the risk of leukemia remains controversial. Consequently, we performed a meta-analysis to accurately evaluate the association between TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism and leukemia risk. A comprehensive search was conducted to find all eligible studies of TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism and leukemia risk. Fourteen case-control studies,...
