Beyond the behavioral risk factor of prolonged usage of<unk>  pots, researchers have begun to look at genetic mutations that may make some people more predisposed to develop<unk> . * In one study, people with<unk>  were found to be approximately twice as likely as a control group to have a mutation in the TP53 gene (codon 72 polymorphism). Patients with higher grade tumors exhibited more proline amino acid mutations at this site. * Another study confirmed the association of<unk>  and TP53, finding substitutions and insertions in 40% of the<unk>  patients studied. The researchers observed a significant correlation with mutation status and age as well as with the presence of affected lymph nodes in patients. TP53 may, in the future, serve as “potential molecular marker and prognostic tool” for<unk> . Furthermore, PTEN mutations were found in two of thirty patients studied; though due to the small sample size, no useful conclusions could be postulated. * Two polymorphisms of the HSP70 gene were discovered to be correlated with poor prognosis in cases of<unk> ; the “Hsp70-2 A/G or G/G and Hsp70homC/C genotypes” could potentially be utilized to measure risk of<unk>  development as well as to predict prognosis.
