“…Analyses of a limited number of candidate variants in hormone receptor genes (estrogen ( ESR1 ), androgen ( AR ), and progesterone receptors ( PGR )) yielded mostly negative results except in secondary stratified analyses (by body mass index or use of hormone replacement therapy) [148,149,150,151,152]. Studies conducted in Latin America focused on the ESR1 , PGR , COMT, CYP19A1 , and CYP1A1 genes [89,113,115,120,150,153]. One of these studies reported a positive association between an Alu insertion in the PGR gene and breast cancer risk [120], while other studies revealed statistically significant associations for polymorphisms within the CYP1A1 gene [113,115].…”
