The Mitochondrial A10398G Polymorphism, Interaction with Alcohol Consumption, and Breast Cancer Risk
23 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in the mitochondrial genome are hypothesized to be associated with risk of various diseases, including cancer. However, there has been conflicting evidence for associations between a common polymorphism in the mitochondrial genome (A10398G, G10398A in some prior reports) and breast cancer risk. Reactive oxygen species, a by-product of mitochondrial energy production, can lead to oxidative stress and...
