Abstract excerpt
Using a large-scale case-control study, we examined whether common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within 13 genes involved in the cell cycle pathway are associated with breast cancer risk. Seventy-nine tag SNPs were used to evaluate 240 common SNPs found in the genes: CCND1, CCND2, CCND3, CCNE1, CDK2, CDK4, CDK6, CDKN1A, CDKNIB, CDKN2A/CDKN2B, CDKN2C and CDKN2D. These were genotyped in 2270 cases and 2280...
