TP53 codon 72 polymorphism and risk of cervical carcinoma in Serbian women

Abstract: The results indicate that carriers of Arg allele of codon 72 TP53 gene have an increased risk for development of cervical carcinoma in Serbian women. However, the influence is not statistically significant and requires analysis of larger case-control group.

“…Our finding is also supported by a meta-analysis with Han Chinese women where the Proline allele was reported to be associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer [ 47 ]. On the contrary, studies in patients with cervical cancer from Serbia and Saudi Arabia did not report an increased risk of the malignancy with the Proline allele [ 22 , 24 ]. Interestingly, the Proline allele was reported to impart a protective effect on cervical cancer [ 22 ].…”

“…The proline allele has also been linked with increased overall survival in Caucasian cervical cancer patients [ 23 ]. On the other hand, the normal homozygous GG genotype, that codes for the arginine allele, has been associated with increased risk of cervical cancer in Serbian and Kyrgyz women [ 24 , 25 ]. Reports of no statistically significant association between TP53 codon 72 polymorphisms with cervical cancer are also available [ 26 , 27 ].…”

“…The polymorphism has been studied in relation to a wide range of cancers with inconclusive results [ 17 ]. For cervical cancer, the interest has been relatively extensive due to its strong relation with HPV infection [ 22 , 23 ], while studies on vaginal and vulvar cancer have been sparse [ 24 ]. The main focus in the majority of the studies has been the importance of codon 72 on susceptibility to HPV-induced cancer with only some addressing the prognostic value [ 25 ].…”
