Functional IGF1R variant predicts breast cancer risk in women with preeclampsia in California Teachers Study
2017
Purpose
Hypertension in pregnancy has been associated with decreased future risk of breast cancer in many but not all studies. In the Marin Women’s Study, pregnancy-induced hypertension was shown to interact with the T allele of a functional IGF1R gene variant, rs2016347, to result in lower breast density, as well as decreased breast cancer risk. Our objective was to explore these findings in a larger sample of women from the California Teachers Study (CTS).
