Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Case-control studies have reported inconsistent results concerning breast cancer risk and polymorphisms in genes that control endogenous estrogen biosynthesis. We report findings from the first family-based association study examining associations between female breast cancer risk and polymorphisms in two key estrogen-biosynthesis genes CYP17 (T-->C promoter polymorphism) and CYP19 (TTTA repeat...
