Abstract excerpt
HSD17B1 is an important candidate gene in breast cancer via its role in converting estrone to estradiol. A nonsynonymous G-to-A transition (rs605059) and an intronic C-to-A (rs676387) single-nucleotide polymorphism, which captured most common variation in HSD17B1, were evaluated in several breast cancer studies with inconclusive results. We followed up these findings in the Polish Breast Cancer Study (1,995...
