background: the tumor suppressor gene tp53 (alias p53) located on chromosome 17 is involved in various cancers. case-control studies have shown that p53 codon 72 polymorphism modulates the prognosis and susceptibility to various malignancies. we undertook the present study to explore a possible association between mucinous and non-mucinous adenocarcinomas with different genotypes or alleles at ...

The present study analyzed the association of tumor protein p53 (TP53) Pro72Arg polymorphism with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in the Mongolian population of Tongliao (Inner Mongolia, China). Restriction fragment length polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the genotype distribution of TP53 Pro72Arg polymorphism in 100 patients with ESCC and 50 healthy controls ...

BACKGROUND The polymorphism of TP53 codon 72, a transversion of G to C (Arg to Pro), has been demonstrated to be associated with the risk for lung cancer. However, individual studies conducted in Chinese have provided conflicting and inconclusive findings. Thus, we performed a meta-analysis by pooling all currently available case-control studies to estimate the effect of TP53 codon 72 Arg/Pro p...

BACKGROUND Although many epidemiologic studies investigated the TP53 codon 72 polymorphism and its association with cervical cancer (CC), definite conclusions cannot be drawn. AIM OF THE STUDY To evaluate the association between TP53 codon 72 polymorphism and risk of cervical cancer in the Chinese population. METHODS A computerized literature search was carried out in PubMed, Springer Link,...

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are tumors of mesodermal origin, comprising about 1% of all adult neoplasms. Management of such tumors is an important medical challenge. TP53 codon 72 polymorphism results in either the arginine or proline form of the p53 protein; several studies have investigated whether codon 72 polymorphisms are risk and prognostic factors for cancer. We investigated p53 codon 72 ...

PURPOSE A common polymorphism of the tumor suppressor gene TP53 at codon 72 has been associated with human cancer susceptibility and prognosis. To examine the role of the polymorphism in the gastric adenocarcinoma, we examined 397 patients with or without the cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN DNA samples were extracted from archived gastric tumor tissues and/or normal tissues of gastric adenocarcin...

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 : 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...
