Introduction
The aim of the study was to analyze three single nucleotide polymorphisms – rs1520220, rs2946834, rs6219 – of the IGF-1 gene in the context of breast mammographic density.

Material and methods
The research material included 202 samples of the peripheral blood of women with increased mammographic breast density and 238 samples of the epithelium from the oral mucosa of women without diagnosed pathological changes of the breast and with no family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer. The real-time polymerase chain reaction method was applied for analysis of polymorphisms.

Results
rs1520220 polymorphism was associated with increased mammographic density of the breasts. The presence of the CC genotype in the IGF-1 gene increased the risk of developing higher breast density visible in mammography by 2.43-fold. CC homozygotes (rs1520220) correlated with higher Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System scale (3 vs. 4 and 5) (OR = 5.6; 95% CI: 1.82–16.3, p = 0.001). In the present study no relationship was detected between rs6219 and rs2946834 polymorphism and mammographic breast density.

Conclusions
The results suggest that the rs1520220 polymorphism of the IGF-1 gene plays an important role in the occurrence of increased mammographic breast density.
