FGFR2 intronic polymorphisms interact with reproductive risk factors of breast cancer: results of a case control study in Japan.

13 Oct 2009 Recently, 2 genome-wide association studies demonstrated that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) gene at intron 2 are significantly associated with the risk of female breast cancer. As the next ... Read more...

Three common variants of LEP, NPY1R and GPR54 show no association with age at menarche.

4 Jun 2009 CONTEXT: Twin and family studies indicate a significant heritability of pubertal timing and more specifically of age at menarche (AAM). OBJECTIVE: Test the association of AAM with common variants of three candidate genes suspected to have a ... Read more...

Genome-wide association analyses identify SPOCK as a key novel gene underlying age at menarche.

11 Mar 2009 For females, menarche is a most significant physiological event. Age at menarche (AAM) is a trait with high genetic determination and is associated with major complex diseases in women. However, specific genes for AAM variation are largely unknown. ... Read more...
