Background:
Breast cancer, a hereditary or heterogeneous sporadic disease, is the most common cancer in women worldwide. The tumor suppressor TP53 gene has been found to be the most commonly mutated genes in many types of human cancers, including breast cancer. This study aimed to investigate the association of codon 72 polymorphism of TP53 gene with breast cancer risk in Bangladeshi females.
Methods:
The study included 125 cases and 125 healthy controls. Genotyping and polymorphism were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis.
Results:
The frequencies of the three genotypes Arg/Arg, Arg/Pro, and Pro/Pro were 43.2, 33.6, and 23.2% in cases, whereas 48.8, 40.8, and 10.4% in controls, respectively. The frequency of mutant homozygous (Pro/Pro) genotype was significantly increased in breast cancer patients as compared with controls (23.2 vs 10.4%), and showed 2.52-fold significantly increased risk for breast cancer (OR 2.5199, 95% CI 1.19-5.33, p = 0.0157). The frequencies of Pro/Pro genotype were significantly higher in breast cancer cases with non-breast feeding status. Pro allele frequency was found to be significantly increased in breast cancer cases (OR 1.4978, 95% CI 1.0357-2.1662, p = 0.0318).
Conclusions:
Our data suggest that mutant (Pro/Pro) homozygosity at codon 72 of TP53 gene is significantly associated with breast cancer susceptibility in Bangladeshi women. In addition, this association was significantly related to lactating status.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
