Stratified data also revealed an association of homozygous mutant genotype with advanced stage of tumor in premenopausal women (OR = 4.56; 95% CI = 1.07-19.38; p = 0.04) with disease duration of <6 months (OR = .10; 95% CI = 1.80-20.50; p = 0.002) suggestive of modulating effect of rs3761548 in tumor progression.
Our study suggests that <i>FOXP3</i> polymorphism rs3761548 is associated with BC susceptibility in the Chinese and may be involved in tumor progression.
