Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Penetrance of breast cancer (BC) among women who carry pathogenic variants (PVs) in BRCA1 is incomplete, and the age at BC diagnosis varies considerably, even among carriers of the same PV, suggesting the involvement of genetic and non-genetic risk modifying factors. Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) models based on common sequence variants account for less than 10% of the total risk variability among BRCA1...
