Description
We observed that the XRCC2 R188H polymorphism modified the association of plasma alpha-carotene level and breast cancer risk (test for ordinal interaction, P=0.03); the significantly decreased risk seen overall for women in the highest quartile of plasma alpha-carotene was only present among 188H non-carriers (the top quartile versus the bottom quartile; multivariate odds ratio, 0.55; 95% confidence interval, 0.40-0.75).
