HER2 is a well-known proto-oncogene encoding a transmembrane glycoprotein with tyrosine kinase activity. This protein is reported to have prognostic and predictive roles in breast cancer, and it is supposed to be involved with early pathogenesis of breast cancer. A polymorphism at codon 655 (Ile to Val; Ile655Val) in the transmembrane domain region of this gene was identified; a recent population-based . . . [Full Text of this Article]
