Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: This case-control study was conducted in order to evaluate the potential role of polymorphic genes encoding enzymes involved in estrogen biosynthesis (CYP19A1) and metabolism (GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1), and their action in modulating individual susceptibility to breast cancer. METHODS: Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples of 101 patients with histological diagnosis of breast cancer and 121 healthy...
