Breast Cancer
New breast cancer study results from University of Santiago described
March 5th, 2009
"A polygenic model has been proposed in order to explain the genetic susceptibility to sporadic breast cancer. According to this model, common population variants Would be responsible for low to modest effects on the risk of developing the disease," researchers in La Coruna, Spain report. "We have carried out a high-throughput SNP genotyping project in order to shed some light on the complex genetic aetiology of non-familial breast cancer. Ninety-one genes have been selected because of their implications in several candidate cell pathways for breast cancer. A total of 640 SNPs in these genes were genotyped in a series of 450 consecutive cases and 448 controls from...
