The transcription factor, heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), influences the expression of heat shock proteins as well as other activities like the induction of tumor suppressor genes, signal transduction pathway, and glucose metabolism. We hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in HSF1 gene might affect its expression or function which might have an influence on the development of breast cancer. The...
