Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We performed a case-control study to evaluate the association of genetic polymorphisms of estrogen-metabolizing enzyme genes and estrogen receptor genes with breast cancer risk according to age group and subtypes in Korean women. METHODS: Breast cancer patients (n = 830) and the hospital healthy controls (n = 390) with both clinical information and SNP data were included in the study. Age was divided...
