No Evidence of Correlation between p53 Codon 72 Polymorphism and Risk of Bladder or Breast Carcinoma in Tunisian Patients

Abstract: The TP53 gene, frequently mutated in human cancers, carries several polymorphisms. The one most informative and studied concerns codon 72; a single base changes the CGC (arginine) to CCC (proline). The arginine form was considered to be a significant risk factor in the development of cancer. However, various reports on this polymorphism are controversial. We carried out the same investigation in two groups of patients, a group with bladder cancer and another with breast cancer, and in healthy controls in two r… Show more

“…Association of Pro allele with increased risk of colorectal cancer has been reported in Japanese population (Hamajima et al, 2002), Korean population (Cao et al, 2009), in Chinese (Zhu et al, 2007) and in Malaysian population (Aizat et al, 2011). But for breast cancer risk no association of p.R72P polymorphism have been reported in Tunisian (Mabrouk et al, 2003) and Russian subjects (Suspitsin et al, 2003).…”

“…There was no association between the Arg/Arg genotype and breast carcinomas in patients from Russia (Suspitsin et al, 2003), Tunisia (Mabrouk et al, 2003) and Germany (Gohrke et al, 1998). Moreover, Pro/Pro genotype was more prevalent in Japanese (Noma et al, 2004) and in Swedish (Sjalander et al, 1996) women with breast cancer, as compared with normal controls (Damin et al, 2006).…”

“…There were a few other studies addressing the role of p53 polymorphisms in other tobacco-related cancers. However, the associations were not consistent Mabrouk et al, 2003). p21: The association of p21 codon 31 (Ser31Arg) polymorphism with cancer risk has been examined in three lung cancer studies.…”
