Association of COMT Haplotypes and Breast Cancer Risk in Caucasian Women

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3086748/

"In this large population-based case control study, we found no significant overall association between breast cancer risk and COMT haplotypes, although two individual haplotypes, with frequencies of 3.7% and 2.4% in the controls, were significantly associated with decreased breast cancer risk.

A total of six COMT SNPs were genotyped (A total of six COMT SNPs were genotyped (rs1544325, rs174674, rs7290221, rs2239393, rs4680 and rs4646316)."
