Abstract excerpt
Long-term estrogen exposure and family history of breast cancer are the two factors that are most consistently found to be associated with breast cancer risk. Sequence variants in genes involved in estrogen synthesis, metabolism, and signal transduction may account, in part, for this observation. Using data and DNA samples from the Shanghai Breast Cancer Study, we tested the hypothesis that sequence variants of...
