## Background: Human papillomavirus (hpv) plays an important role in the development of carcinomas at various body sites. it was found previously that the p53 codon 72 polymorphism (c/g) is a high-risk factor for the development hpv-associated cervical carcinoma. however, it still was considered co

Cervical cancer mortality is high in Texas, especially among Hispanic women living in south Texas and adjacent Mexico. Though human papillomavirus (HPV) infection has a causal role in the development of cervical cancer, there are no published data on the prevalence of HPV genotypes in this underscre
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Tobacco smoking, alcohol abuse, and highβrisk human papillomavirus (HPV) are risk factors in the etiology of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). The __TP53__ polymorphism, in which an arginine (R) is changed to proline (P) at codon 72, is functionally signific
## Abstract The p53 gene is involved in the control of cellβcycle arrest and apoptosis. The germline Arg72Pro polymorphism alters the protein's biochemical functions, and may confer individual susceptibility to skin cancer. We evaluated the association of the Arg72Pro polymorphism with skin cancer
## Abstract Human papillomavirus (HPV) infects the squamous epithelial cells of oral cavity and cervix leading to formation of warts that develops into the cancer. Human papillomavirus (HPV)β16 and 18 encode E6 oncoprotein, which binds to and induces degradation of the tumour suppressor protein p53
