Abstract excerpt
The mitotic checkpoint system is a mechanism essential for maintaining genomic stability and defects which have been linked to cancer development. We conducted this hospital-based case-control study to investigate whether genetic variants in three major spindle checkpoint genes (BUB3, MAD2L1, and BUB1) had any bearing on an individual risk of breast cancer (BC). A total of 462 incident BC patients and 529...
