Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) plays an important role in tumor cell growth, invasiveness, motility, and angiogenesis. Several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the second intron of the FGFR2 gene are associated with the risk of breast cancer. In this study, we determined whether these SNPs of the FGFR2 gene are associated with early onset of non-familial breast cancer in a Chinese Han...
