Polymorphic variation at the -202 locus in IGFBP3: Influence on serum levels of insulin-like growth factors, interaction with plasma retinol and vitamin D and breast cancer risk.

Abstract excerpt

Previous reports have suggested an association between circulating IGFBP-3 levels and the risk of premenopausal breast cancer, and a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the promoter region of IGFBP-3 (nucleotide -202) was shown to influence transcription. There is prior evidence that the acti...
