Summary The aim of this study was to explore a possible influence of the HLA ‐ G coding polymorphisms on the susceptibility to breast cancer development in B razilian subjects; however, none of the HLA ‐G variation sites evaluated was influencing breast cancer susceptibility indicating that the variation in the HLA ‐ G coding region is not a risk factor for breast cancer.
