PURPOSE: The receptor tyrosine kinase ERBB4/HER4 plays a role in cell division, migration, differentiation, as well as apoptosis, and is frequently overexpressed in breast and colorectal tumors. To understand the role of genetic variations in the regulation of ERBB4 expression, we identified new polymorphisms and investigated their functional implication and risk association with breast and colorectal cancer....
