Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mammographic density, the light/white radiographic appearance on a mammogram that represents connective and epithelial tissue, is a strong risk factor for breast cancer which seems to be highly heritable. Little is known about its genetic determinants. METHODS: We studied 457 women fr...
