The p53 protein is expressed in pterygial epithelium, but the reported prevalence of its expression varies widely. Although the cause of this variation is unknown, several factors that may play a role have been investigated, but without conclusive findings. In the present study, the role of p53 codon 72 polymorphism, and that of both age and gender, on p53 expression in pterygium was investigated.
