Zusammenfassung
Icb–1 (C1orf38) is a human gene initially described by our group to be involved in in vitro differentiation processes of tumor cells derived from gynecological malignancies. Recently we reported various interactions between icb–1 and estrogen receptor-signaling. In this study we tested the hypothesis that polymorphisms in the icb–1 gene may be associated with increased risk for breast cancer. We investigated the icb–1 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1467465 for association to breast cancer risk. A total of 634 women, made of 317 breast cancer cases and just as many controls, were included in the study. DN…
