We have recently shown a positive association between OPG concentrations and risk of ER- breast cancer (tertile 3 vs. 1 RR = 1.93 [95% CI 1.24–3.02]; ptrend = 0.03) [9], whereas higher sRANKL concentrations were associated with risk of ER+ disease (quintile 5 vs. 1 RR 1.28 [95%CI 1.01–1.63]; ptrend 0.20) [12]. Here, TNFRSF11B is linked to breast carcinoma.
