To determine whether a genetic-environmental interaction exists between the breast, a modified apocrine gland, its secretions, and the genetic polymorphic phenotypes of wet and dry cerumen, we examined nipple aspirate fluid (NAF) for proliferative disease in 172 U.S.-born and immigrant Chinese an...
