Association of Obesity Related Genetic Variants (FTO and MC4R) with Breast Cancer Risk:a population-based case-control study in Iran

Background: The heterogeneous breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related mortality. Obesity defined by BMI is known as a major risk factor for breast cancer. Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the role of obesity related-polymorphisms rs9939609 FTO and rs17782313 MC4R in breast cancer development. Materials and Methods: We obtained matched peripheral blood, serum ...

A haplotype-based case-control study of BRCA1 and sporadic breast cancer risk.

Rare, highly penetrant germ line mutations in BRCA1 strongly predispose women to a familial form of breast and ovarian cancer. Whether common variants (either coding or noncoding) at this locus contribute to the more common form of the disease is not yet known. We tested common variation across the BRCA1 locus in African American, Native Hawaiian, Japanese, Latino, and White women in the Multie...

بررسی همبستگی پلی مورفیسم تک نوکلئوتید rs11614913 ژن mir196a2 با استعداد ابتلا به سرطان پستان در جمعیت جنوب ایران

Breast cancer is the most common cancer worldwide and is the second leading cause of death in women after lung cancer. Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are among endogenous factors which are involved in many types of cancers, including breast cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the miRNAs, might change their biological activities such as their effects on oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. The...

بررسی تغییر ژنتیکی در انکوژن pre-miR-27a و همراهی آن با ریسک سرطان سینه و متاستاز

Background and purpose: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within miRNA genes may be related with risk of cancer. A main SNP in the pre-miR-27a (rs895819) with an A to G variation was earlier identified. In this study, we aimed to explore any association between SNP rs895819 in the miR-27a gene and breast cancer susceptibility. Materials and methods: This case-control study included 120 br...
