Abstract excerpt
Gene expression changes within the Hippo pathway were found to be associated with large tumor size and metastasis in breast cancer. The combined effect of genetic variants in genes of this pathway may have a causal role in breast cancer development. We examined 7086 SNPs that were not highly correlated (r2 < 0.8) in 35 Hippo pathway genes using data from the genome-wide association study of breast cancer from...
