Pathogenic mutations in TP53 gene have only been reported in 50% of colorectal cancer(CRC) patients. A single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) in the TP53 gene resulting in the presence of either arginine(Arg)or proline(Pro) or both at codon 72 was shown to alter TP53 tumor-suppressor properties. This SNP has been investigated as a risk factor for numerous cancers,including CRC. In this study we analyzed TP53 codon 72 polymorphism distribution in 461 IBD,181 primary sclerosing cholangitis patients and 62 healthy controls. Genotyping of TP53 was performed by sequencing and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of genomic DNA extracted from peripheral blood. RESULTS: The most frequent TP53 genotype in IBD patients was Arg/Arg occurring in 54%-64% of cases(and in only 32% of controls). Arg/Pro was the most prevalent genotype in controls(53%) and less common in patients(31%-40%). Pro/Pro frequency was not significantly different between controls and IBD patients. CONCLUSION: The data suggests that the TP53 codon 72 Arg/Arg genotype is associated with increased risk for IBD development.展开更多
