Absence of the common Insulin-like growth factor-1 19-repeat allele is associated with early age at breast cancer diagnosis in multiparous womenE Bågeman
Department of Oncology, Clinical Sciences, Lund University, SE 221 85 Lund, Sweden
Br J Cancer 96:712-7. 2007..006). Multiparity combined with IGF1-19/-19 was associated with an early age at breast cancer diagnosis. If confirmed, IGF1-19/-19 may help identify a subgroup of women for earlier breast cancer screening...

Department of Oncology, The Jubileum Institute, Lund University Hospital, Lund SE 221 85, Sweden
Br J Cancer 92:857-66. 2005..002). Our results suggest that lack of the IGF1 19-repeat allele modifies IGF-1 levels, breast volume and possibly early-onset breast cancer risk after hormone exposure in young high-risk women...
