This dataset, CASP8BreastCancer_df, is a data frame containing results from 4 case-control studies examining the association between the CASP8 -652 6N del promoter polymorphism and breast cancer risk. The dataset includes information on the presence or absence of the polymorphism in both cases (breast cancer patients) and controls, with different genotypic combinations analyzed.
