Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Defective oxidative stress response may increase cancer susceptibility. In tumors, these rescue mechanisms may cause chemo- and radioresistance impacting patient outcome. We previously showed that genetic variation in the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NFE2L2) is associated with breast cancer risk and prognosis. Here we further studied this pathway by investigating Kelch-like ECH-associated...
