“…Previous reports suggested that a functional polymorphism in codon 72 of p53 gene, which encodes polyproline domain with a vital role in apoptosis induction, is in relation to the most cancers (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23) and prevalence of exon 5-8 mutations, which encodes the DNA binding domain of the TP53 molecule are found in many of human cancers (5,26). On the other hand, a report by Zhao et al, indicated that promoter polymorphism of ABCC1 gene too, is associated with cancer development (10). Here, polymorphisms of 72 and 282 codons of p53 gene and promoter of ABCC1 were investigated.…”
