Common polymorphisms in TP53 and MDM2 and the relationship to TP53 mutations and clinical outcomes in women with ovarian and peritoneal carcinomas

Abstract: The importance of somatic TP53 mutations and germline TP53 codon 72 genotype in the survival of women with epithelial ovarian cancer is controversial. Recent data suggest that a promoter polymorphism in the MDM2 gene may influence age of cancer onset in a gender-specific fashion. We sought to determine the relationship between somatic TP53 mutations, germline genotypes at TP53 codon 72 and MDM2 SNP309, and overall survival and response to chemotherapy in a large series of patients with ovarian and peritoneal c… Show more

“…In accordance with two previous studies of ovarian cancer (22,23), the G-allele was not associated with younger age at diagnosis in the examined ovarian cancer cases. Bartel et al reported an 8.5-year earlier diagnosis in G/G and T/G as compared to T/T carriers in patients with FIGO III ovarian carcinomas with high estrogen receptor (ER) expression (24).…”

“…The prevalence of the homozygous SNP309 variant genotype in our cohort is in line with previous studies in Caucasian patients with ovarian cancer that reported frequencies of 7.8-17.2% (22)(23)(24) and does not significantly differ from the 12% prevalence observed in healthy Caucasians (2). Also, the MDM2 SNP309 has not been linked with ovarian cancer susceptibility of Caucasian women in two case-control studies (22,25).…”

“…The presence of this genetic polymorphism brings to the loss of one of the five PXXP repeats (P represents Pro and X represents any amino acid) altering the protein structure and decreasing induction of apoptosis (13). Patients with the Pro allele seem to have a poor prognosis and survival in different tumors, such as breast (14,15), ovarian (16), lung (15), head and neck cancer (15), and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (17). However, these correlations are not unequivocal (7,18).…”

“…On the other hand, the association of p53 codon 72 genotype with survival has also been investigated in several types of cancer, [24][25][26][27] but few studies have determined the codon 72 genotype and p53 mutations in clinical samples. 8,28,29 Sullivan et al found that patients with a wild-type 72 R tumor are more likely to respond to chemotherapy and display a longer survival than those with a wild-type 72P tumor in 70 advanced head and neck tumors, 8 implying that the association between the codon 72 genotype and survival is modified by p53 gene status.…”
