Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Observational and experimental studies suggest that vitamin D may influence breast cancer etiology. Most known effects of vitamin D are mediated via the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Few polymorphisms in the VDR gene have been well studied in relation to breast cancer risk and results have been inconsistent. METHODS: We investigated VDR polymorphisms and haplotypes in relation to breast cancer risk by...
