Abstract 243: Genetic polymorphisms of diabetes-related genes, their interaction with diabetes status, and breast cancer incidence and mortality: The Long Island Breast Cancer Study Project

Background: Diabetes is associated with increased risk of breast cancer and subsequent mortality; however, whether genetic variants that increase diabetes risk also influence breast cancer has received little attention. Herein, we examined the associations between 143 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified from genome-wide association studies of diabetes risk, and breast cancer incidence and subsequent mortality. For SNPs...
