Abstract
The article discusses a study which investigated 40 genetic variants known to be associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in relation to breast cancer risk. A total of 2,651 breast cancer cases and 2,520 controls of African or European ancestry were pooled from seven studies. The study found that the association between established T2D genetic susceptibility variants and breast cancer risk in women of African or European ancestry is possibly weak, if it exists.
