Although Bailey et al. [4] failed to demonstrate a significant association between the CYP1B1 Val432Leu polymorphism and breast cancer risk, they noted that Caucasian patients with the Val/Val genotype had a significantly higher percentage of breast cancer that were positive for estrogen receptors (ERs) or progesterone receptors (PRs), suggesting that this polymorphism may be functionally important for the expression of these steroid receptors. This evidence concerns the gene WNK3 and breast cancer.
