• Associations between the MDM2 promoter P1 polymorphism del1518 (rs3730485) and incidence of cancer of the breast, lung, colon and prostate 

      Gansmo, Liv Beathe; Vatten, Lars Johan; Romundstad, Pål Richard; Hveem, Kristian; Ryan, Bríd M.; Harris, Curtis C.; Knappskog, Stian; Lønning, Per Eystein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-04-12)
      The MDM2 promoter region contains several polymorphisms, some of which have been associated with MDM2 expression, cancer risk and age at cancer onset. del1518 (rs3730485) is an indel polymorphism residing in the MDM2 ...
    • Influence of MDM2 SNP309 and SNP285 status on the risk of cancer in the breast, prostate, lung and colon 

      Gansmo, Liv Beathe; Knappskog, Stian; Romundstad, Pål Richard; Hveem, Kristian; Vatten, Lars; Lønning, Per Eystein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-07)
      MDM2 is a key regulator of the p53 tumor suppressor protein and is overexpressed in many human cancers. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in the MDM2 intronic promoter (P2) have been found to exert biological ...
    • MDM2 promoter polymorphism del1518 (rs3730485) and its impact on endometrial and ovarian cancer risk 

      Gansmo, Liv Beathe; Bjørnslett, Merete Pauline; Halle, Mari Kyllesø; Salvesen, Helga; Romundstad, Pål Richard; Hveem, Kristian; Vatten, Lars Johan; Dørum, Anne; Lønning, Per Eystein; Knappskog, Stian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-02-03)
      Background: The del1518 (rs3730485) polymorphism is an in/del variant in the MDM2 promoter P1. The variant is in complete linkage disequilibrium with MDM2 SNP309 (rs2279744) and has previously been found associated with ...

      The MDM2 promoter SNP285C is located on the SNP309G allele. While SNP309G enhances Sp1 transcription factor binding and MDM2 transcription, SNP285C antagonizes Sp1 binding and reduces the risk of breast-, ovary- and ...
