Volumetric mammographic density: heritability and association with breast cancer susceptibility loci.

Journal of the National Cancer Institute - 1 Dec 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mammographic density is a strong heritable trait, but data on its genetic component are limited to area-based and qualitative measures. We studied the heritability of volumetric mammographic density ascertained by a fully-automated method and the association with breast cancer susceptibility loci. METHODS: Heritability of volumetric mammographic density was estimated with a variance component model in...
