## Abstract About 25β50% of women with Cowden disease, a syndrome associated with germβline mutations of the __PTEN__ gene (at 10q23), develop breast cancer (BC), but __PTEN__ mutations have been found in only 5% of sporadic BCs. However, 29β48% of BCs display loss of heterozygosity in 10q23, and a
Serum-free thyroxine (FT4) concentrations are lower in Hawaiian and Hawaiian Caucasian women than in Hawaiian Japanese, Hawaiian Filipino, Hawaiian Chinese, and English and Japanese mainland women. There is a high inverse correlation between FT4 and risk of breast cancer in these ethnic groups. Thyr
## Abstract DNA methylation alteration of several genes contributes to human tumorigenesis. __Cyclin D2__, a member of the Dβtype cyclins, is implicated in cell cycle regulation and malignant transformation. In our study, we examined the methylation status of the __cyclin D2__ promoter in small cel
