Genome-wide Analysis of Rare Haplotypes Associated with Breast Cancer Risk: Discovery, Replication, and Generalizability Evaluation
2022-10-22
Abstract excerpt
While numerous common variants have been linked to breast cancer (BCa) risk, they explain only partially the total BCa heritability. Inference from the Nordic population-based twin data indicates that rare high-risk loci are the chief determinant of BCa risk. Here, we use haplotypes, rather than single variants, to identify rare high-risk loci for BCa. With computationally phased genotypes from 181,034 white Briti...
