Abstract excerpt
Leptin and leptin receptor have been implicated in processes leading to breast cancer initiation and progression. An A to G transition mutation in codon 223, in exon 6 of the leptin receptor gene (LEPR) can result in glutamine to arginine substitution (Gln223Arg). A variety of case-control studies have been published evaluating the association between LEPR Gln223Arg polymorphism and breast cancer. However,...
