Abstract excerpt
Most breast cancer heritability is unexplained. We hypothesized that analysis of unrelated familial cases in a GWAS context could enable the identification of novel susceptibility loci. In order to examine the association of a haplotype with breast cancer risk, we performed a genome-wide haplotype association study using a sliding window analysis of window sizes 1-25 SNPs in 650 familial invasive breast cancer...
