CONCLUSIONS

In our study, we investigated the effects of rs4485469, rs9646629, rs34739845, rs17069904, rs884205 and rs4941129 SNPs in the TNFRSF11A gene on the risk of developing breast cancer among patients with BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 variations living in the Trakya region of Turkey. Among the TNFRSF11A polymorphisms that we included in our study, the rs4485469 SNP was found to be significantly borderline between the patient group with and without BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. Differences in genetic study results related to the role of TNFRSF11A SNPs in the development process of breast cancer may be due to ethnic differences between populations, the inclusion criteria of the patients, and the different sample numbers. Thus, we suggest that the relationship between TNFRSF11A polymorphisms and the risk of breast cancer development by increasing the sample size and studying in different populations with a similar methodology will make a significant contribution to the literature.
