Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Percent mammographic density (PMD) adjusted for age and body mass index is one of the strongest risk factors for breast cancer and is known to be approximately 60% heritable. Here we report a finding of an association between genetic ancestry and adjusted PMD. METHODS: We selected self-identified Caucasian women in the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute Cohort whose screening...
