Interestingly, TP53 polymorphisms in intron 7 (rs12947788 and rs12951053) were more frequently identified in asbestos-exposed NSCLC (P = 0.046) and MPM patients than in unexposed patients (P < 0.001 and P = 0.012, respectively).
We evaluated seven single-nucleotide polymorphisms of six genes CDA Lys27Gln (A/C); CDA C435T; ERCC1 C118T; XRCC3 Thr241Met (C/T); XPD Lys751Gln (A/C); P53 Arg72Pro (G/C), and RRM1 C524T in 192 chemotherapy-naive patients with advanced NSCLC treated with cisplatin/gemcitabine-based regimen by TaqMan probe-based assays with 7300 Real-Time PCR System, using genomic DNA extracted from blood samples.

Using select c-CBL somatic mutations such as S80N/H94Y, Q249E and W802* (obtained from Caucasian, Taiwanese and African-American samples, respectively) transfected in NSCLC cell lines, there was increased cell viability and cell motility.

A mutation does not necessarily alter the protein function and since not all altered tumor protein p53 (TP53) conformations lead to the same biological properties, we studied Cys135Arg TP53 gene mutation in squamous cell type of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs), by polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and direct sequencing.
