Circadian clock genes and breast cancer

29 Aug 2014


Night shift work has been associated with increased breast cancer risk. Truong and colleagues investigated the role of circadian clock gene polymorphisms and their interaction with nightwork in breast cancer risk. They found polymorphisms associated with breast cancer risk in RORA, CLOCK, and NPAS2 in the analyses at the gene level, supporting the hypothesis that circadian clock gene variants modulate breast cancer risk.
