p53 gene mutations are a common genetic alteration in human cancer and codon 72/exon 4 polymorphism of the p53 gene has been implicated in cancer risk. Therefore in this study the p53 gene status of 32 shock-frozen tumor specimens from larynx carcinomas was analyzed by PCR and sequencing of exon 4
The p53 codon 72 polymorphism, resulting in either an arginine or a proline residue has been proposed to affect the susceptibility of p53 protein to human papilloma virus (HPV) E6-mediated degradation in vitro. However, there are controversial results from several clinical studies in various human
Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) are a diverse group of tumor types, including neoplasia of the paranasal sinuses, oral cavity, trachea, pharynx and larynx. Laryngeal cancer is the most common type of HNSCC. The proline-rich 4 (PRR4) protein is synthesized in the acinar cells of human
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck region is the sixth most frequent malignancy with high mortality rate. Due to its poor prognosis it is considered a growing public health problem worldwide inspite of existing treatment modalities. Thus, early diagnosis of new diseases and
Epidermal differentiation complex (EDC) comprises a number of genes associated with human skin diseases including psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and hyperkeratosis. These genes have also been linked to numerous cancers, among them skin, gastric, colorectal, lung, ovarian and renal carcinomas. The
