Association of p53 Codon 72 Polymorphism with Breast Cancer in a Rwandese Population

Abstract: Background and Aims: A common polymorphism in the tumor suppressor gene p53 at codon 72 has been suggested to play a role in the development of a number of cancers. This polymorphism has been studied in many populations worldwide, with conflicting results. The present study was planned to assess the association of p53 codon 72 polymorphism with breast cancer development in a Rwandese population. Methods: In this study, the polymorphism was examined by allele-specific PCR analysis in 40 patients with breast can… Show more

“…These results are in line with those reported in Caucasian patients where polymorphism at the same locus seemed to increase risk of BC among premenopausal women [62]. However, some studies have suggested that there is no association between the rs1042522 variant and the development of BC in Africa, whatever the menopausal status [19] [47]. The discrepancies between association studies involving this SNP could be explained by the genetic variability of the African population made up of various ethno-linguistic groups characterized by a diversity of genetic background [21] [62].…”

“…Armitage trend test. These results are in line with those reported elsewhere in Africa where, whatever the menopausal status, no association was reported between polymorphism at rs1042522 of TP53 and the risk of BC development[19] [48]. However, it is important to point out that the allele frequencies were not in HWE at this locus when the entire population was analyzed.…”

“…These different results with diverging conclusions can be explained by a very strong heterogeneity in allele and genotype distribution of p.Arg72Pro of the P53 gene. This heterogeneity may be related not only to the geographic and ethnic origin [ 15 – 17 ] but also to the study design such as non-age-matched case-control studies. Based on these above observations, we hypothesized that the p.Arg72Pro polymorphism of P53 gene may represent a potentially important genetic marker, contributing to breast cancer susceptibility in Caucasian, Asians and Africans.…”
