Insulin-like growth factor-I gene polymorphism and breast cancer risk in Chinese women.

International journal of cancer - 10 Jan 2005

Abstract excerpt

The evidence that high circulating levels of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer among premenopausal women lends credence to the hypothesis that genetic polymorphisms in the IGF-I gene may be involved in the disease. A population-based case-control study was conducted to assess the association of IGF-I gene polymorphisms [(CA)n repeats in the promoter...
