Research on breast cancer reported by scientists at Kaohsiung Medical University
June 11th, 2009
According to recent research published in the Omics - a Journal of Integrative Biology, "Many single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been found to be associated with breast cancer, but their SNP interactions are seldom addressed. In this study, we focused on the joint effect for SNP combinations of seven CXCL12-related genes involved in major cancer-related pathways." "SNP genotyping was determined by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in this study (case = 220, control = 334). Different numbers of combinational SNPs with genotypes called the SNP barcodes from different chromosomes were used to evaluate their joint effect on breast cancer...
