Abstract excerpt
CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling has been implicated in breast carcinogenesis, and genetic polymorphisms in these molecules have been associated with different types of cancer. The present study analyzed genetic polymorphisms in CXCL12 (rs1801157, G > A) and CXCR4 (rs2228014, C > T) and CXCR4 immunostaining in tumor tissues from patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) aiming to evaluate their possible role in...
