Abstract excerpt
Mistakes in DNA repair can result in sustained damage and genetic instability. We comprehensively evaluated common variants in DNA repair pathway genes for their association with postmenopausal breast cancer risk with and without respect to estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) subtypes. In this study of 1,145 prospectively ascertained breast cancer cases and 1,142 matched controls from the...
