Genetic analysis of breast cancer in the cancer and steroid hormone study.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Feb 1991

Claus E B, Risch N, Thompson W D

Abstract excerpt

The familial risk of breast cancer is investigated in a large population-based, case-control study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control. The data set is based on 4,730 histologically confirmed breast cancer cases aged 20 to 54 years and on 4,688 controls who were frequency matched to cases on the basis of both geographic region and 5-year categories of age, and it includes family histories, obtained...
