Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia is a hallmark of cancer. Hypoxia inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) is the key regulator of the hypoxia response. HIF-1alpha is overexpressed during sporadic breast carcinogenesis and correlated with poor prognosis. Little is known on the role of HIF-1alpha in hereditary breast carcinogenesis. A recent study suggests a role for BRCA1 in HIF-1alpha regulation. We therefore examined the expression of...
