Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have characterized X-linked transcriptional regulator FOXP3 as a tumor suppressor gene involved in the pathogenesis of breast cancer. A high rate of somatic FOXP3 mutations in breast tumors and the consequent upregulation of ERBB2 (alias HER-2) make FOXP3 a good candidate gene for breast cancer susceptibility. By taking advantage of a highly conserved FOXP3 sequence, we genotyped three...
