title: No associations of p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 at exon 2 and p53 Arg72Pro polymorphisms with the risk of digestive tract cancers in Japanese.
abstract: A case-control study was conducted to examine the possible association between digestive tract cancers and p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 at exon 2 and p53 Arg72Pro polymorphisms in Japanese. Cases were 102 esophageal cancer patients, 144 stomach cancer patients, and 147 colorectal cancer patients, and controls were 241 non-cancer outpatients. The genotype frequencies among controls were 55.3% for p73 GG at position 4, 40.4% for GA, and 4.3% for AA, and 37.7% for p53 ArgArg, 44.4% for ArgPro, and 18.0% for ProPro. No significant differences in the genotype frequencies were observed between the controls and each case group or cases as a whole.
