Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Multiple genome-wide and candidate-gene association studies have been conducted to search for common risk variants of breast cancer. Recent large meta-analyses and consolidating evidence have highlighted the role of the caspase-8 gene in breast cancer pathogenesis. Therefore, this study aimed to identify common variations and haplotypes associated with risk and overall survival of breast cancer with...
