Abstract excerpt
Cumulative evidence suggests that insulin-like growth factors (IGF) play an important role in the etiology of breast cancer. The IGF binding proteins regulate the action of IGFs, and >90% of circulating IGFs are bound to IGFBP-3. We evaluated the associations of five (A-202C, G227C, C3804G, 5606InsA, and C5827T) genetic polymorphisms in the IGFBP3 gene with breast cancer risk and the blood IGFBP-3 protein level...
