ADIPOQ rs2241766 SNP as protective marker against DIBC development in Mexican population.

Background: Adiponectin protein and some variations in its gene, ADIPOQ have recently been associated with cancer because they regulate glucose and lipid metabolism as well as anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory proteins.

Aim: The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between selected biochemical markers, anthropometric indices and ADIPOQ rs2241766 and rs1501299 SNPs in ductal infiltrating breast cancer (DIBC) in a Mexican population.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 64 DIBC patients and 167 healthy women.
