Abstract excerpt
Recently, a functional polymorphism in KITLG, rs4590952, was identified to be associated with testicular cancer susceptibility through increasing the p53-dependent KITLG expression and disrupting the function of p53. We performed a hospital-based case-control study, including 1241 breast cancer (BC) patients and 1259 cancer-free controls, to investigate the role of this polymorphism in the risk of BC in Chinese...
