## Abstract Recent genome‐wide scans identified several novel breast cancer risk alleles, including variants of the __FGFR2__, __MAP3K1__ and __LSP1__ genes, and a study of associations between these alleles and characteristics of breast cancer patients reported a borderline significant correlation
Small, noncoding RNA molecules, called microRNAs (miRNAs), are thought to function as either tumor suppressors or oncogenes. Common singlenucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNAs may change their property through altering miRNA expression and/or maturation, and thus they may have an effect on thous
Germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 account for majority of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. The complete coding sequence analysis of both genes was carried out in 197 breast/ovarian cancer patients from high-risk families and 53 patients with sporadic breast/ovarian cancer. In summary, 59 mu
The association between the CHEK2 and breast cancer risk in Chinese women is unknown. Here, we screened the full CHEK2 coding sequence in 118 Chinese familial breast cancer cases who are negative for mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2, one recurrent mutation, CHEK2 c.1111C4T (p.H371Y), was identified in f
