Abstract excerpt
Hundreds of common variants have been found to confer small but significant differences in breast cancer risk, supporting the widely accepted polygenic model of inherited predisposition. Using a novel closed-pattern mining algorithm, we provide evidence that rare haplotypes may refine the association of breast cancer risk with common germline alleles. Our method, called Chromosome Overlap, consists in iteratively...
