Altered expression of the {beta}3 integrin gene has been implicated in the metastasis of breast cancer (1). A single-nucleotide polymorphism at codon 33 of the {beta}3 integrin gene that exchanges a leucine (Leu) for a proline (Pro) seems to modify the function of cells expressing {beta}3 integrins [(2) and . . .
