Abstract excerpt
Association studies have been widely used to search for common low-penetrance susceptibility alleles to breast cancer in general. However, breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease and it has been suggested that it may be possible to identify additional susceptibility alleles by restricting analyses to particular subtypes. We used data on 710 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in 120 candidate genes from a...
