StAR-related lipid transfer domain containing proteins (STARD3) are a group of proteins that contain a steroidogenic acute regulatory protein-related lipid transfer domain. Breast cancer (BC) has been linked to the STARD3 gene. In this study, we sought to confirm the relationship of STARD3 protein expression with clinicopathological characteristics and BC molecular subtypes.
