Abstract excerpt
The presence of somatostatin receptors (SSTR1-5) in tumour cells indicates a potential for somatostatin to bind and suppress growth, as well as allowing for therapeutic treatment with somatostatin analogues. The genes for SSTR1 and SSTR2 have been shown to contain dinucleotide repeat polymorphisms. We have performed association studies on breast cancer and solar keratosis populations to determine whether these...
