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...

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: 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 ...

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...

TP53 is the most common mutated gene in human cancers. Approximately half of all human malignancies exhibit TP53 mutations. The TP53 codon 72 polymorphism is a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in exon 4, resulting in the expression of either arginine (CGC) or proline (CCC) residues. In this article, we review literatures published in MEDLINE, and attempt to describe how these two polymorphi...

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...

The TP53 polymorphism occurs at codon 72 of exon 4 with two alleles encoding either arginine or proline. The association between this common polymorphism and risk of different cancers has been extensive studied, however various reports are controversial. We have analyzed the 72Pro polymorphic variant in patients with adrenocortical tumors to evaluate whether 72G--> C substitution at codon 72 of...
