Abstract excerpt

Common genetic variants in cancer-related genes contribute to breast cancer. The innate immune system plays a crucial role in the immune surveillance against malignancies, thus it is plausible that genetic variations in key genes of the innate immunity such as the mannose-binding lectin (MBL), MBL2, could influence the risk for breast cancer. We investigated the association of MBL2 genotypes with breast cancer...
