Abstract excerpt
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common cancers globally. Genetic testing facilitates screening and informs targeted risk-reduction and treatments. However, genes included in testing panels are from European-ancestry studies. We conducted a pooled case-control analysis in self-identified Hispanic/Latina women (4178 cases and 4344 controls), using whole exome sequencing and a targeted panel. We tested the...
