Material and methods. The allelic composition of the studied gene was determined in a group of 158 BC patients, consisting of 30 women and 128 men (mean age 65.6 ± 10.7, median: 66.5; C25–C75: 59–72). The control group included 117 healthy donors and consisted of 27 women and 90 men with an average… Show more
