Abstract excerpt
A recent genome-wide association study identified a novel single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs2046210, in the 6q25 region as a breast cancer susceptibility locus in Chinese and subsequently replicated in a multicenter study. Further fine-mapping of this region may help identify the potential causative SNPs of breast cancer. We employed a block-based fine mapping analysis to investigate the tagging SNPs in a...
