## Abstract P73 plays an important role in modulating cellβcycle control, inducing apoptosis, and inhibiting cell growth. A novel noncoding __p73__ G4C14βtoβA4T14 exon 2 polymorphism was associated with risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). We hypothesized that __p73__ G4C14
We have identified a new human p53 homologue, p40 (p51/p63). This gene was mapped to the distal arm of 3q and was found to be essential for normal epithelial development. We used microsatellite and FISH analyses to search for genetic alterations of p40 in primary HNSCC. A more precise localization o
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Tobacco smoke contains numerous carcinogens that cause DNA damage, including oxidative lesions that are removed effectively by the baseβexcision repair (BER) pathway, in which adenosine diphosphate ribosyl transferase (ADPRT), xβray repair crossβcomplementing 1 (XRCC1),
