Abstract
To the Editor: In the May 15, 2007 issue of Cancer Research , Bai et al. ( [1][1]) claimed that individuals carrying haplogroup K mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) lineages are at significantly increased risk of developing breast cancer, whereas those bearing haplogroup U lineages have a significantlyThis publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
