The Alu-insertion progesterone receptor gene polymorphism is not associated with breast cancer: a meta-analysis.

BMC medical genetics - 25 Jan 2018

Yao Jun, Qi Xing-Ling, Zhang Yong

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The role of progesterone receptor (PGR) gene polymorphisms in breast cancer is still controversial. Here, we performed a meta-analysis to determine whether the Alu insertion is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer and, further, whether the Alu insertion contributes to the development of breast cancer. METHODS: Using database searches, we selected 10 controlled case studies that met a...
