Abstract excerpt
Many low-penetrance breast cancer susceptibility loci are found to be located in non-protein-coding regions, suggesting their involvement in gene expression regulation. We identified the human/rat-conserved breast cancer susceptibility locus MCS5A/Mcs5a. This locus has been shown to act in a non-mammary cell-autonomous fashion through the immune system. The resistant Mcs5a allele from the Wistar-Kyoto (WKy) rat...
