Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We previously reported on the association between ESR1 and ESR2 gene variants and heightened risk of breast cancer (BC). Here we investigated the association of common ESR1 and ESR2 gene variants with triple negative BC (TNBC). METHODS: This retrospective case-control study involved 488 BC patients (130 TNBC, 358 non-TNBC patients). ESR1 (rs2234693, rs9340799, rs3020314, rs3798577) and ESR2 (rs928554,...
