Abstract excerpt
The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess if the -634G/C polymorphism represents a predisposition factor for the risk of breast cancer. We included eight published case-control studies, in which a total of 6,175 cancer cases and 6,421 cancer-free controls were included. Pooled ORs and 95 % CIs were calculated by the fixed effects model to evaluate the association of the -634G/C polymorphism and breast cancer...
