This is a case of interest because GCT located in the breast is very unusual and knowledge of GCT is required for the differential diagnosis with breast cancer.
Among these, four haplotypes (ATC in block 1 of NBS1, GCCCC and GCCCT in block 2 of NBS1, and GCT in block 2 of BRIP1) were correlated with breast cancer risk in sporadic cases (OR (95% CI) 1.350(1.124-1.623), 0.752(0.584-0.969), 0.803(0.649-0.993), and 0.776(0.604-0.997), respectively), and only one haplotype (GGCCT in block 2 of NBS1) was significantly associated with breast cancer risk in familial and early-onset cases (OR(95% CI) 1.902(1.134-3.191)).
The results suggested that women with genotypes with 9- and 6-GCT repeat alleles of MICA gene could be considered more potent to develop breast cancer especially at higher age.
