It was observed that a 6-fold increased breast cancer risk (odds ratio/OR=5.75, 95% confidence interval/CI=1.26-26.33) was associated with Cys7Tyr in breast cancer patients when compared with healthy controls.
Four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in three genes were genotyped by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry [CCND1 Ex4-1G>A (rs9344), CDK7 Ex2-28C>T (rs2972388), ESR1 P325P Ex4-122G>C (rs1801132), and ESR1 T594T Ex8+229G>A (rs2228480)], and their associations with breast cancer risk were assessed.
