Background:
Endometrial cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women in developed countries. Patients with endometrial cancer may benefit from systemic chemotherapy alone or in combination with targeted therapies if the disease is clinically diagnosed prior to spread and metastasis to other organs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic role of p53 polymorphism and its correlation with tumor grade in human uterine endometrial carcinomas.
Materials And Methods:
A total of 75 patients with endometrial carcinomas were studied for possible mutations in exon 4 of the p53 gene using polymerase chain reaction and restricting fragment length polymorphism techniques and sequencing.
Results:
In recent study, The rate of homozygote genotype of pro/pro or Arg/Arg in high grade group was higher than in comparison with low grade one. In addition samples that were undigested in RFLP, showed mutation in exone 4.
Conclusions:
Our findings showed that high grade endometrial carcinomas are highly associated with TP53 polymorphisms in comparison with low grades.

When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
