E-cadherin plays an important role in the origin of epithelial ovarian cancer. However, the exact molecular mechanism by which this occurs is unknown. The polymorphisms located at the E-cadherin may contribute to an increased risk for certain cancers. In this paper, we studied the association between polymorphisms of E-cadherin and the risk of epithelial ovarian cancer.
