Abstract:
Aim: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is considered to be the third leading cause of cancer death. The homologous gene of TP53 is significant in the occurrence and development of cancer. This study explored the relationship between TP53 rs28934571 polymorphism and HCC risk in Guangxi, China. Materials & methods: We first screened the association through bioinformatics. Additionally, a case-control study was performed to further verify the relationship between gene polymorphism and HCC risk after collecting clinical characteristics. Results: Results showed that allele A on TP53 rs28934571 was a risk factor for HCC and mutation from C to A on TP53 rs28934571 would increase the risk of poor prognosis of HCC. Conclusion: Therefore, the study concluded that TP53 rs28934571 may become a diagnostic indicator in judging the prognosis of HCC.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
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.
Such genes that act...
