title: HLA-G polymorphism and breast cancer.
abstract: The aim of this study was to explore a possible influence of the HLA-G coding polymorphisms on the susceptibility to breast cancer development in Brazilian subjects; however, none of the HLA-G variation sites evaluated was influencing breast cancer susceptibility indicating that the variation in the HLA-G coding region is not a risk factor for breast cancer.
