TP53 Gene 72 Arg/Pro (rs1042522) Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Contribute to Increase the Risk of B-Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia in the Sudanese Population
In the recessive model of inheritance, we found borderline associations between CLL risk and C/C genotype of rs1642785 (p=0.048); G/G genotype of rs2909430 (in men only; p=0.036) and Pro72Pro genotype of rs1042522 (in men only; p=0.045).
Although the p53 R72P SNPs and MDM2 SNP309 did not associate with any of the parameters studied, the BAX G125A SNPs was associated with a more advanced Binet stage at diagnosis, supporting a potential role for this variant in CLL disease progression.
