Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: A third of familial epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is explained by BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants. Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for BRCA1/2 heterozygotes associated with EOC have been created, but impact of combination with clinical and hormonal risk factors is unclear. METHODS: We genotyped 300 cases and 355 controls and constructed modified PRSs based on those validated by Barnes et al. Model...
