FGFR2 and breast carcinoma: Although, the tendency to increase breast cancer risk was significant across all the four SNPs tested, but the LD pattern between the four FGFR2 variants in our North Indian population was weak to moderate only, in contrast to Europeans, but resembling other Asian populations [17], [46], [47], [75], indicating a fairly independent risk effect of each locus in our population, but the results warrant screening in larger sample sets.
