Introduction: Osteoprotegerin (OPG), encoded by the TNFRSF11B gene, is linked to the development of breast cancer via several pathways, including interactions with the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (RANK) ligands, apoptosis-inducing proteins like TRAIL, and genetic variations such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), directly altering gene expression. This evidence concerns the gene TNFRSF11A and breast carcinoma.
