Abstract

p53 is a major orchestrator of cellular response to a broad array of stress types by regulating apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, etc. A few polymorphic sites, one at codon72 of exon4, intron3 16bpdel/ins, intron6G>A have been studied with regard to Bladder cancer (BC) risk in North Indians. Genotypes were assessed in hospital-based case-control study comprising of 200BC cases, 265healthy controls. After extraction of genomic DNA from blood, genotyping was done using PCR Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism. Individuals with p53R72P G>C, CC genotype demonstrated marginally reduced risk of BC (p=0.053, OR=0.29, 95% 16bp-ins/del.
