Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified common variants associated with breast cancer (BC) risk at multiple genetic loci. Above all, accumulated evidence suggests that inherited risk variants may vary in BC subtypes defined by estrogen receptor (ER) or progesterone receptor (PR) status. However, the underlying susceptibility of some variants for BC subtypes has not been well investigated in the...
