Evidence for an interaction between apolipoprotein E genotype, gender, and Alzheimer disease.
Philip Bretsky,J G Buckwalter,Teresa E. Seeman,Carol A. Miller,J Poirier,Gerard D. Schellenberg,Caleb E. Finch,Victor W. Henderson +7 more
TL;DR: The analysis suggests that the presence of one or more APOE-epsilon4 allele confers a substantially greater risk of AD to women than to men, which may account for reports of increased risk ofAD faced by women.

Philip Bretsky,Christopher A. Haiman,Shlomit Gilad,Joachim Yahalom,Avital Grossman,Shoshana Paglin,David Van Den Berg,Laurence N. Kolonel,Rami Skaliter,Brian E. Henderson +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterized the prevalence and distribution of 20 ATM missense mutations/polymorphisms in a population-based case-control study of 854 African-American, Latina, Japanese, and Caucasian women.

TL;DR: The data suggest that inherited variants in ESR2 (while possibly conferring a small increased risk of breast cancer) are not associated with appreciable changes in breast cancer risk among Caucasian women.

Thun,Ruth C. Travis,Jarmo Virtamo,Antonia Trichopoulou,Sholom Wacholder,Stephanie J. Weinstein +47 more
TL;DR: Little evidence is observed for any substantial association of inherited variation in ESR2 with risk of prostate cancer, and the effect modification by age, body mass index, and family history, as well as the association between sequence variants of E SR2 and advanced-stage and high-grade prostate cancer.
