Association Between Offspring's hCG Genotype and Breast Cancer Risk in Mothers: A Novel Approach

Abstract

We proposed to examine the novel hypothesis that the hCG genotype of a woman's off spring is associated with her breast cancer risk. Using the existing Metropolitan New York Registry (MNYR) resources, a case-control study was designed to examine the hypothesis whether first-born offspring's hCGbeta 5 genotype (i.e., placental hCGbeta 5 genotype during first FTP) is associated with a woman's breast cancer risk. To date, the three tasks in the approved Statement of Work for year 1 have been accomplished, and we are in the process of laboratory analyses.
