Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) has identified three new breast cancer susceptibility loci at 12p11, 12q24 and 21q21 in populations of European descent. However, because of the genetic heterogeneity, it is largely unknown for the role of these loci in the breast cancer susceptibility in the populations of non-European descent. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Here, we genotyped three...
