BACKGROUND: Previous studies evaluating the association of vitamin D-related genetic variants with breast cancer risk have produced inconsistent results. METHODS: We evaluated the association between breast cancer risk and 559 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in 12 vitamin D-related genes, including 6 genes associated with circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] level identified by recent genome-wide...
