Abstract excerpt
Breast cancer (BC) predisposition in populations arises from both genetic and nongenetic risk factors. Structural variations such as copy number variations (CNVs) are heritable determinants for disease susceptibility. The primary objectives of this study are (1) to identify CNVs associated with sporadic BC using a genome-wide association study (GWAS) design; (2) to utilize 2 distinct CNV calling algorithms to...
