INTRODUCTION: Centrosome aberrations and cell-cycle deregulation have important implications for ovarian cancer development. The AURKA, BRCA1, CCNE1 and CDK2 genes play pivotal roles in centrosome duplication and cell-cycle regulation. METHODS: Using a haplotype-based analysis, this study aimed to investigate whether genetic polymorphisms in these four genes may contribute to ovarian cancer susceptibility. A...
