Estimates of heritable and environmental components of familial breast cancer using family history information.

British journal of cancer - 4 Jun 2007

Couto E, Hemminki K

Abstract excerpt

Using the Swedish Family-Cancer Database, the increased risk of breast cancer in women with relatives with the disease did not vary with paternal/maternal lineage. Familial breast cancer heritable component was 73% and the environmental proportion 27%. Familial aggregation of breast cancer in women below age 51 years is mainly due to heritable causes.
