Abstract excerpt
Recent genome-wide association studies have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene encoding fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) as a risk factor for breast cancer. We examined the relationship between these intron 2 SNPs and gene expression in breast carcinomas. Primary breast tissue showed a common occurrence of these SNPs accompanied by FGFR2 expression in normal ductal...
