Association between MDM2-SNP309 and p53R72P polymorphisms and the risk of bladder cancer in the Mongolian population.

ABSTRACT: The current study aims to investigate whether MDM2-SNP309 and p53R72P polymorphisms were associated with the risk of bladder cancer in Mongolian populations. These polymorphisms were evaluated in 79 controls and 63 bladder cancer cases using a PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay, followed by analysis using multivariate logistic regression model and the Kaplan-Meier model to determine the odds ratio (OR) and age at onset of bladder cancer, respectively. The results revealed that the homozygous (G/G) genotype of MDM2-SNP309 increased the risk of bladder cancer compared to the wild-type (T/T) genotype [OR=1.629; 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.622-4.266] among Mongolians. On the other hand, the homozygous (P/P) genotype of p53R72P tended to protect the population from bladder ca
