HOXB13 is overexpressed in breast cancer tissues and HOXB13 expression in combination with low expression of IL17BR is predictive for a tamoxifen response in ER-positive breast cancers. Based on observations, we hypothesized that the HOXB13 p.Gly84Glu mutation might be associated with breast cancer risk. We genotyped this...
