Funded Activity Summary

Recent studies have identified DNA markers within the human genome that are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Most of these markers are located in noncoding regions, therefore the key genes driving risk are not known. This proposal will identify the target genes at all breast cancer risk regions and assess how specific markers affect disease risk. Understanding how DNA variation contributes to breast cancer will provide new avenues for prevention or treatment.
