Abstract excerpt
Introduction: breast cancer development is linked to mutant single nucleotide polymorphism of breast cancer type 1 (BRCA1) gene usually harboured within exon 11. It has also been linked to finger dermatoglyphics where certain patterns have been associated with breast cancer. This study suggests a possible relationship between finger dermatoglyphic patterns and single nucleotide polymorphism of BRCA1 gene....
