Common Mutations Linked To Increased Risk
Of Breast Cancer
(Yahoo, April 3, 1998)
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health
compared three glutathione S-transferase (GST) genes, which
produce proteins that help the body block free radical damage,
in 110 breast cancer patients with those of 113 healthy women.
The investigators found a link between mutations in this class
of genes and breast cancer.
