The DNA repair pathway is known to play a role in the etiology of breast cancer. A number of studies have demonstrated that common germline variants in genes involved in the DNA repair pathway influence breast cancer risk. To assess whether alterations in DNA repair genes contribute to breast cancer, we genotyped 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 1,109 Cypriot women with breast cancer and 1,177...
