Abstract excerpt
Inherited genetic risk factors contribute toward breast cancer (BC) onset. BC risk variants can be divided into three categories of penetrance (high, moderate, and low) that reflect the probability of developing the disease. Traditional BC susceptibility gene discovery approaches that searched for high- and moderate-risk variants in familial BC cases have had limited success; to date, these risk variants explain...
