Abstract

A tumor suppressor gene TP53 has a central role in controlling the cell cycle, apoptosis, as well as DNA damage repair. A common polymorphism in TP53 is the Arg72Pro exon 4 polymorphism. Polymorphism has been proposed to be associated with genetically determined susceptibility in different types of cancers, including glioma. This study was conducted to estimate the distribution of glioma within age groups, gender, smokers, and residence of individual also to investigate the distribution of TP53 Arg72Pro SNPs genotype in glioma, and determine whether TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism is a possible relevance in susceptibility to glioma using RFLP-PCR analysis. Enrolled were 65 patients (glioma tissues matched age and gender) and 70 healthy individuals as a control. The findings in glioma samples 40(61.54%) were homozygous for arginine (Arg / Arg), 19 (29.23%) heterozygous for (Arg / Pro), and 6 (9.23%) homozygous for proline (Pro / Pro). Three separate frequencies of genotypes of Arg72Pro; 33 (47.14%), 28 (40.0), and 9 (12.86%) were identified in healthy individuals, respectively. The allele Frequencies for the Pro 72 and Arg 72 gliomas were 16 (24.62%) and 49 (75.38%), respectively. In the Pro 72 and Arg 72 controls, the allele frequencies were 23 (32.86%) and 47 (67.14%), respectively. Finally, there was no significant relationship between age group, gender, dwellers, non-smokers and smokers in different genotypes of codon 72 of TP53 gene (P < 0.05).
