Association of anthropometric indices with rs9939609 FTO gene polymorphism among overweight/obese women with breast cancer: a case-control study
FTO gene polymorphism may be implicated in the etiopathogenesis of BC, both in FTO pre- and post-menopause women diagnosed with overweight/obesity. Future cohorts are required to confirm the association between the FTO gene and BC in obese women and to identify the underlying biological mechanisms.
