Abstract

P53 is a tumor suppressor gene and plays important roles in the etiology of breast cancer. Studies revealing conflicting results on the role of p53 codon 72 polymorphism (G>C) on breast cancer risk led us to perform a meta-analysis to investigate this relationship. Thirty-nine published studies, including 26,041 breast cancer cases and 29,679 controls were identified. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of the associations. The overall results suggested that the variant genotypes were associated with a significantly reduced breast cancer risk (GC vs. GG: OR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.83–1.00; CC/GC vs. GG: OR = 0.90, 95% CI: 0.82–0.99). In the stratified analyses, significantly decreased risks were also found among European populations (GC vs. GG: OR = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.80–0.99; CC/GC vs. GG: OR = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.80–0.98) and studies with population-based controls (GC vs. GG: OR = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.78–0.98; CC/GC vs. GG: OR = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.78–0.97). The results suggested that p53 codon 72 polymorphism may contribute to susceptibility to breast cancer, especially in Europeans. Additional well-designed large studies were required to validate this association in different populations.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on antibody–drug conjugates in cancer

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel agents that have shown promise across multiple tumor types. Explore the current landscape of ADCs in breast and lung cancer with our experts, and gain insights into the mechanism of action, key clinical trials data, existing challenges, and future directions.
