Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To characterize single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the promoter region of the estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) gene and to analyze the association of ERβ SNPs with susceptibility to breast cancer. Genotype frequencies of five SNPs (rs3020449, rs3020450, rs2987983, rs1271572 and rs1887994) in the promoter region of the ERβ gene in 873 women with breast cancer, 645 women with fibroadenoma and 700...
