Abstract excerpt
The endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene (NOS3) has been proposed as a candidate gene for breast cancer (BC), however, the specific role of variants and haplotypes has not been clarified. We examined the association of two polymorphisms (4b/a and G894T) and their haplotypes in a case-control sample of 306 patients with BC and in 131 healthy females. In addition, a meta-analysis of studies investigating...
