Abstract excerpt
Candidate gene association studies to detect breast cancer susceptibility loci have yielded few positive associations. Therefore, it is more likely that variants in many genes along related biological pathways combine to influence breast cancer risk. A strong candidate pathway is that of p53-mediated cell-cycle control, DNA repair, and apoptosis. The two major proteins along this pathway are p53 and its negative...
