<b>Conclusion:</b> MUC1 rs4072037 polymorphism is associated with decreased cancer risk and can probably be used as a tumor marker, especially for gastric cancer and for Asians.
For MUC1 SNP, rs4072037, women homozygous for the G variant had a non-significantly decreased risk for serous invasive types but elevated risk for serous borderline tumors, mucinous borderline and invasive tumors, and endometrioid tumors.
DNA extracted from the tumor identified a BRAF V600E mutation in exon 15 and a BRAF G468A mutation in exon 11, whereas DNA from non-tumorous cells did not contain a mutation.
