We found that the polymorphisms of P53 (rs1042522) and MDM2 (rs2279744) are associated with gastric cancer</span> risk, whereas no significant association was observed between variant genotype of other two polymorphisms (MDM4 rs1380576 and Hausp rs1529916) and gastric cancer risk.
To explore the role of polymorphisms of p53-related genes in etiology of oral cancer, we investigated joint effects of seven putatively functional polymorphisms of p53 (codon 72 Arg/Pro), p73 (4/14 GC/AT), murine double minute 2 gene (MDM2; A2164G and T2580G) and MDM4 (rs11801299 G > A, rs10900598 G > T and rs1380576 C > G) on risk of human papillomavirus (HPV)16-associated oral cancer in a case-control study with 325 cases and 335 cancer-free controls.
Three <i>MDM4</i> variant genotypes were significantly associated with HPV16 tumor status among SCCOP patients compared with the common homozygous genotypes (OR, 0.6; 95% CI, 0.4-1.0 for rs10900598; OR, 1.6, 95% CI; 1.1-2.4 for rs1380576; and OR, 1.8, 95% CI, 1.1-2.9 for rs11801299; respectively).

We genotyped three MDM4 tagging polymorphisms, two in the 3' untranslated region (rs11801299G>A and rs10900598G>T) and one in intron 1 (rs1380576C>G), in a case-control study of 1075 non-Hispanic white SCCHN patients and 1079 cancer-free controls, and evaluated their associations with SCCHN risk.
Both the Mdm4 and Hausp SNPs (rs1380576 and rs1529916) were found to be associated with higher D'Amico risk prostate cancer category at the time of diagnosis (P = 0.023 and P = 0.046, respectively).

As for rs1380576, a significantly lower risk of developing RB was observed in patients with G allele (CG + GG) compared with wild-type CC genotype (OR = 0.59, 95%CI 0.36-3.95).
We genotyped three MDM4 tagging polymorphisms, two in the 3' untranslated region (rs11801299G>A and rs10900598G>T) and one in intron 1 (rs1380576C>G), in a case-control study of 1075 non-Hispanic white SCCHN patients and 1079 cancer-free controls, and evaluated their associations with SCCHN risk.
In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggested that rs4245739 polymorphism in the MUC1 gene may play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of GC, especially for white populations.
Interestingly, we observed a combinational effect between MDM4 rs4245739 and P53 Arg72Pro variants in attenuating breast cancer risk, highlighting the importance of the P53 tumor suppressor pathway genes during malignant transformation.
Finally, the significant effects of MDM4 rs4245739</span> polymorphism on survival were found among HPV16-positive SCCOP</span> patients only after the stratified analyses by tumor HPV status.
In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggested that rs4245739 polymorphism in the MUC1 gene may play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of GC, especially for white populations.
