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

To examine 143 diabetes risk single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), identified from genome‐wide association studies, in association with breast cancer (BC) incidence and subsequent mortality. A population‐based sample of Caucasian women with first primary invasive BC ( n = 817) and controls ( n = 1021) were interviewed to assess diabetes status. Using the National Death Index, women with BC were followed for >18 years during which 340 deaths...
