Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies [GWAS] have identified a limited number of endometrial cancer risk loci by analyzing single nucleotide polymorphisms [SNPs]. We hypothesized that analyzing haplotypes rather than SNPs could provide novel and more detailed information on genetic cancer susceptibility loci. To examine the association of a SNP or haplotype with endometrial cancer risk we performed a two-stage...
