The MSP method detects only methylation of full-length CpG islands and cannot identify partial methylation of the promoters.
A number of studies have evaluated possible associations between a polymorphism in the cytochrome P450c17α ( CYP17 ) gene and breast cancer risk [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 ] . Cytochrome P450c17α functions at key branch points in human steroidogenesis, catalyzing the ovarian and adrenal biosynthesis pathways for androstenedione, the immediate precursor of testosterone [ 17 ] . Three polymorphisms have been described in this gene: a C → T transition at nucleotide 5471 in intron 6 [ 18 ] , a G → A transition at nucleotide 47 in the 5'-untranslated region promoter [ 19 ] , and a thymidine substitution for cytosine at nucleotide 27 in the 5'-untranslated region promoter that creates a Msp AI recognition site [ 20 ] .

The Msp AI polymorphism gives rise to three genotypes (A1/A1, A1/A2, and A2/A2).
