Objective To investigate the relationship between p53 gene family and thyroid cancer.Method The related literatures in the database were reviewed and analyzed.Results The p53 gene family included p53, p63, and p73. The p53 played an important role in the development of thyroid cancer, especially in the development of undifferentiated thyroid cancer. The different subtypes of p63 might have different roles in the thyroid cancer, so it couldn’t be generally said that the p63 was an oncogene or an anti-oncogene, and the function of its specific protein needed to be further studied. The biological role of p73 in the thyroid cells might be contradictory, depending on the interaction of many different factors, and the interaction between various p73 subtypes and members of the p53 molecular network was still unclear.Conclusion There is still some controversy about role of p53 gene family in development of thyroid cancer.
