The EGFR gene, located at 7p12.3-p.1, contains multiple polymorphisms [10], two of which are recognized for their functional effects: a dinucleotide (CA)n repeat sequence polymorphism in intron 1 (rs72554020) affects gene transcription [11], and appears to modulate EGFR expression in breast tumors [12], and a single nucleotide change (G → A) in exon 13 leads to an Arginine (Arg) → Lysine (Lys) substitution in codon 497 (rs11543848), resulting in attenuated TK activity, with consequent reductions in ligand binding, growth stimulation, and induction of proto-oncogenes myc, fos, and jun[13]. The gene discussed is EGFR; the disease is breast neoplasm.
