Arg72Pro is a polymorphism commonly occurring in the proline-rich domain of Tp53. It can determine the development of different types of cancers, such as breast, lung, cervical, colorectal and hepatocellular carcinoma. Previous studies reported a correlation between Pro72 homozygosity and the clinical course of ulcerative colitis (UC). Our aim was to evaluate Arg72Pro genotype in patients who underwent proctocolectomy with ileo-pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for UC compared with those who did not need surgery.

Abstract
Arg72Pro is a polymorphism commonly occurring in the proline-rich domain of Tp53. It can determine the development of different types of cancers, such as breast, lung, cervical, colorectal and hepatocellular carcinoma. Previous studies reported a correlation between Pro72 homozygosity and the clinical course of ulcerative colitis (UC). Our aim was to evaluate Arg72Pro genotype in patients who underwent proctocolectomy with ileo-pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for UC compared with those who did not need surgery.File in questo prodotto:
