Impacts of RETN genetic polymorphism on breast cancer development in Beni-Suef females, Egypt.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among females with increasing incidence and death rates. Resistin is pro-inflammatory molecule which shares in diverse cellular signaling pathways. This study aimed to evaluate resistin and RETN rs3219175 gene polymorphism and their relevance to diagnostic susceptibility, prognostic value, and genetic risk among Egyptian female patients with breast cancer.
