ABSTRACT: Background
Lung cancer is a complex disease that diagnosed the most common cancer and led cause of cancer death. MDM2 (MDM2 proto-oncogene) encodes a nuclear-localized E3 ubiquitin ligase. The encoded protein can promote tumor formation by targeting tumor suppressor proteins, such as TP53, for proteasomal degradation. Epidemiology studies have investigated the association of MDM2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and interaction between genetic and environmental factors with lung cancer.Methods
This Chinese case-control study comprised 627 cases and 633 controls explored the role of MDM2 five htSNPs (rs1690924, rs1846402, rs2291857, rs3730581 and rs3730635, haplotype-tagging SNP) tagging 95% of the common haplotypes across the gene and the interacti
