Growth factor genes and change in mammographic density after stopping combined hormone therapy in the California Teachers Study

Abstract Background The contribution of genetic polymorphisms to the large inter-individual variation in mammographic density (MD) changes following starting and stopping use of estrogen and progestin combined therapy (EPT) has not been well-studied. Previous studies have shown that circulating leve...
