A TP53 polymorphism is associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer and with reduced levels of TP53 mRNA

Abstract: We undertook a case-control study to examine the possible associations of the TP53 variants Arg4Pro at codon 72 and p53PIN3, a 16 bp insertion/duplication in intron 3, with the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). The p53PIN3 A2 allele (16 bp duplication) was associated with an increased risk (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.10À2.18, P ¼ 0.012), of the same order of magnitude as that observed in previous studies for other types of cancer. The Pro72 allele was weakly associated with CRC (OR ¼ 1.34, 95% CI 0.98À1.84, P ¼ 0.066). … Show more

“…We observed no association between intron 3 and intron 6 polymorphisms and oral cancer risk. Recent researches suggest that intronic polymorphisms may affect the function of wild type p53 protein and hence cancer risk (Avigad et al, 1997;Lehman et al, 2000;Gemignani et al, 2004). However, in cell culture analysis, these two intronic polymorphisms (16 bp duplication in intron 3 and G>A in intron 6) did not seem to be sufficient to impair p53 function during the neoplastic transformation but required an additional coding region mutation.…”

“…Wu et al (2002) have reported low apoptotic index and less repair capacity of lymphoblastoid cell lines that harbor A2 and A alleles of intron 3 and intron 6 polymorphisms, respectively. Gemignani et al (2004) have also found that 16 bp duplication in intron 3 reduced the mRNA level of p53 but because of strong linkage disequilibrium between intron 3 and exon 4 polymorphism, it remains to be determined that whether intron 3 alone influence mRNA stability or need the presence of exon 4 polymorphism. Overall, the functional role of these 2 intronic polymorphisms of p53 in cancer risk remains uncertain.…”

“…56 Recently, reduced levels of p53 mRNA has been proposed to be associated with the p53 intron 3 16 bp duplication allele. 57 Overall, the functional role of the 2 intronic polymorphisms of p53 analyzed and their modulatory role in cancer risk remain uncertain. Further studies need to be conducted to unveil any regulatory role of these intronic sequences.…”

“…However, it is interesting to note that the rare haplotypes (rare allele in introns 3 and 6) were slightly associated with a risk of oral cancer (OR ¼ 1.72; 95% CI, 0.97 -3.07) ( Table 2). Recently, Gemignani et al (2004) have observed that a rare allele in intron 3 was associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer and reduced basal levels of p53 mRNA in immortalised lymphoblastoid cell lines. Taken together, these results could support the speculation by Wu et al (2002) that introns 3 and 6 rare alleles might exert a functional effect, because as the copy number of the rare allele in introns 3 and 6 is increased, the level of the apoptotic index is decreased.…”
