Association of breast cancer risk with a GT dinucleotide repeat polymorphism upstream of the estrogen receptor-alpha gene.

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies suggest that genetic polymorphisms of the estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha) gene may be associated with breast cancer risk. To evaluate the role of this gene in the risk of breast cancer, we genotyped a newly identified GT dinucleotide repeat [(GT)(n)] polymorphism located in the promoter region (6.6 kb upstream of the transcription start site) in 947 breast cancer cases and 993 age...
