In a recent case-control study of epithelial ovarian cancer, Tong et al. 1 evaluated the possible association between cancer risk and the PROGINS allele of the progesterone receptor gene. This allele, a 306 bp Alu insertion in intron G of the gene, has been linked to ovarian cancer in several studie
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the progesterone receptor (__PGR__) gene have been associated with the risk of endometrial cancer. However, to the authors' knowledge, no study to date has systematically evaluated the role of the __PGR__ gene in endometrial carc
