We collected pretreatment plasma from AA and NHW ER+ breast cancer cases (AA n = 48, NHW n = 54) and cancer-free controls (AA n = 100, NHW n = 48) to conduct an untargeted metabolomics analysis using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to identify metabolites that may be altered in the different racial groups. The gene discussed is ESR1; the disease is cancer.
