Abstract excerpt
Prohibitin (PHB1) is highly conserved and ubiquitously expressed protein. It is mapped to the chromosome 17q12-q21 locus, a region that has been reported to be genetically linked to early onset of breast cancer. Therefore, we carried out the population-based study in a total of 105 Indian female breast cancer cases and analyzed mutation(s) on exon 4 and the introns flanking it. Importantly, it has been found that...
