Polymorphic CA repeats in the IGF-I gene and breast cancer.

Breast cancer research and treatment - 1 Nov 2001

Abstract excerpt

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I is a potent mitogen for breast cancer cells and may play a role in the disease. Although the involvement of IGF-I phenotype in breast cancer has been studied extensively, little is known about IGF-I genotype in relation to the disease. The IGF-I gene contains a polymorphic region composed of multiple cytosine-adenine dinucleotides (CA repeats). Studies of other genes indicate...
