A comprehensive analysis of the androgen receptor gene and risk of breast cancer. Results from the National Cancer Institute Breast and Prostate Cancer Cohort Consortium (BPC3)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2006-09-20)
Introduction
Androgens have been hypothesised to influence risk of breast cancer through several possible mechanisms, including their conversion to estradiol or their binding to the oestrogen receptor and/or androgen receptor (AR) in the breast. Here, we report on the results of a large and comprehensive study of the association between genetic variation in the AR gene and risk of breast cancer ...
Genetic polymorphisms of the GNRH1 and GNRHR genes and risk of breast cancer in the National Cancer Institute Breast and Prostate Cancer Cohort Consortium (BPC3)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-07-29)
Background: Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GNRH1) triggers the release of follicle
stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone from the pituitary. Genetic variants in the gene
encoding GNRH1 or its receptor may influence breast cancer risk by modulating production of
ovarian steroid hormones. We studied the association between breast cancer risk and
polymorphisms in genes that code for GNRH1 ...
