Abstract excerpt

In a previous analysis, we reported an inverse association of dietary calcium intake with the risk of ovarian cancer (Goodman et al. 2002. Am J Epidemiol 156:148-57). The CALCA gene codes for calcitonin, an important regulator of bone calcium metabolism. Data from a population-based case-control study conducted in Hawaii were used to examine the hypothesis that a T --> C transition 624 base pairs upstream (-624)...
