## Abstract Human pigmentation is a polygenic quantitative trait with high heritability. Although a large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified in pigmentation genes, very few SNPs have been examined in relation to human pigmentary phenotypes and skin cancer risk. We

## Abstract Overexpression of MDM2 may attenuate the P53 stress response pathway through direct blocking of P53 transcriptional activity and mediating P53 degradation. Two promoter polymorphisms (one is a T to G substitution at the intronic P53βresponse promoter, and the other is a 40βbp insertion/
## Abstract Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in the world. Although exposure to carcinogens is considered to be the main cause, genetic variation may contribute to lung cancer risk. Murine double minute 2, MDM2, is a key regulator of p53 activity and recently a polymorphism in t
