A Medical Briefing on the p53 Tumour Suppressor Gene

Abstract

The p53 tumour suppressor gene is a nucleic acid sequence with a known function. In biology and medicine its role has been to reduce tumorigenesis and/or proliferation. However, with the application of substances, tissue growth inhibition is a possibility. In cancer of the breast, etc., it has been observed the p53 function can be affected, thus affecting bodily functions, since p53 is responsible for regulating cell cycle events. In this social commentary, clarity on the p53 tumour suppressor gene would be provided
