Chakravarthy Sridharan, Malinee
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous, polygenic disease and is influenced by genetic, environmental and life-style factors. Many single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with breast cancer risk have been identified in genome-wide association studies (GWASs) by several research groups for...
