In addition, five SNPs in three genes (ADIPOQ rs182052, rs822391 and rs7649121, CARTPT rs3846659, and LEPR rs12059300) had an effect modification on the association between IGFBP-3 serum concentration and breast cancer risk (Pinteraction < 0.05, adjusted Pinteraction < 0.20). The gene discussed is CARTPT; the disease is breast carcinoma.
