Results from several studies indicate that mammographic density, a strong risk factor for breast cancer, is greater in premenopausal women with higher circulating IGF-I levels. Both mammographic density and circulating IGF-I levels appear to be partly heritable traits. We hypothesized that in premenopausal women, IGF1 variants are associated with circulating IGF-I concentration, which in turn influences variation in breast density. Therefore, we examined the association of IGF1 polymorphisms with circulating IGF-I levels and mammographic density.
