“…To date, several literature information on case-control and other epidemiological studies have identified the association of the p53 and p21 SNPs with susceptibility to cervical ( Datkhile et al, 2019;Ratre et al, 2019;Yu et al, 2022), ovarian (Alqumber et al, 2014), lung (Matikodu et al, 2003), head and neck (Bau et al, 2007) bladder (Zang et al, 2018) and gastric (Song et al, 2011) cancer risk, while others pointed out contrast observations where these SNPs did not show any association of either p53 or p21 polymorphism with development of oral (Lin et al, 2018) ovarian (Alqumber et al, 2014), colorectal (Asadi et al, 2017), lung (Nicholas et al, 2019), prostate (Sivonova et al, 2015;Song et al, 2017) and cervical cancer risk (Martinez-Nava et al, 2016). Thus, it is not clear from the earlier evidences that the polymorphisms in tumor suppressor molecules may play a role in genetic susceptibility of variety of cancers and the findings appeared conflicting.…”
