Abstract

This review gives a summary of the important genetic polymorphisms in breast cancer with a focus on people in Iran. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms were considered as breast cancer susceptibility polymorphisms within genes (STK15, ERRs, ESR1, p53, SEP15, AURKA, SHBG, SRC, FAS, VEGF, XRCC1, GST, NFκB1, XPC, XRCC3, sirtuin-3, NKG2D).Cytosine-adenine repeat (IGF-I), rs3877899, G-2548A, GGC (eRF3a/GSPT1), IVS2nt-124A/G have shown an increased risk of breast cancers and a decreased risk has been observed in 4G/5G (PAI-1), rs6505162, tri-nucleotide (GCGTGFBR1). We observed that the signaling pathways and antioxidant related genes are the main molecular processes associated with breast cancer progression. Further studies on types of polymorphisms in breast cancer could validate the prognostic value of biomarkers.
