Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The estrogen receptor plays a critical role in breast cancer development and progression. So the genetic polymorphism of ER-alpha gene could affect cancer risk and phenotype. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We fully sequenced the ER-alpha gene to investigate its single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 100 breast cancer patients and 100 controls. RESULTS: Six novel polymorphism in the control and 11 in cancer...
