Abstract excerpt
Limited data are available on genomic risk factors for breast cancer in diverse populations. We evaluated breast cancer risk conferred by high and moderate penetrance genes, polygenic risk scores (PRS), and family history (FH) in an ancestrally diverse biobank. We identified expected pathogenic variants (EPVs) in 14 genes among 30,223 sequenced individuals, including 15,919 unrelated women. Using electronic...
