Abstract excerpt
Lysyl oxidase (LOX) is an extracellular enzyme critical for the cross-linking of collagens and elastin. The LOX gene has also been shown to inhibit the transforming activity of Ras oncogene signaling. Recently, a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of LOX G473A (rs1800449) has been demonstrated to be associated with increased risk of breast cancer in African American women. In this hospital-based case-control...
