rs937283

What is the rs937283 variant?

rs937283 is a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) in the MDM2 (MDM2 Proto-Oncogene) gene. It belongs to the Genome Stability category and is part of the Oxidative Stress biological cluster. MDM2 encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase and the primary negative regulator of p53, controlling p53 protein levels and activity.

Biological role and pathway

This variant sits within the MDM2 gene, which is involved in the p53 regulation pathway. Genes within the Oxidative Stress cluster work together to maintain balanced function across interconnected biological systems.

Variants in genes within this pathway may influence an individual's predisposition to altered function — particularly under conditions of physiological stress such as viral infection or prolonged illness.
