| Abstract |
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disorder for which the underlying genetic basis remains unclear. We developed a method for identifying adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) mutations and we evaluated the possible association between APC genetic variants and breast cancer susceptibility. Genomic DNA was extracted from tumor and matched peripheral blood samples collected from 89 breast cancer patients and from peripheral blood samples collected from 50 controls. All samples were tested for mutations in exons 1-14 and the mutation cluster region of exon 15 by HRM analysis. All mutations were confirmed by direct DNA sequencing. We identified a new single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), c.465A>G (K155K), in exon 4 and seven known SNPs: c.573T>C (Y191Y) in exon 5, c.1005A>G (L335L) in exon 9, c.1458T>C (Y486Y) and c.1488A>T (T496T) in exon 11, c.1635G>A (A545A) in exon 13, and c.4479G>A (T1493T) and c.5465T>A (V1822D) in exon 15. The following alterations were found in 2, 1, 2, and 1 patients, respectively: c.465A>G, c.573T>C, c.1005A>G, and c.1488A>T. There was no observed association between breast cancer risk and any of these APC SNPs. APC mutations occur at a low frequency in Taiwanese breast cancer cases. HRM analysis is a powerful method for the detection of APC mutations in breast. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 13. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 December 2022.
All research outputs
#2,404,820
of 23,299,593 outputs
Outputs from Cancer Cell International
#46
of 1,845 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#40,858
of 302,400 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cancer Cell International
#2
of 22 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,299,593 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 89th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,845 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 302,400 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 22 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
