Breast cancer associated mutations reported among Malaysian Malay, Chinese and Indian patients

Breast cancer among women has reached an alarming stage compared to 20 years ago. It was found that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) play an important role in the development of breast cancer. SNPs may suppress or activate the functional genes, which then leads to an increased survival of cell...
