Breast cancer exhibits familial aggregation, consistent with variation in genetic susceptibility
to the disease. Known susceptibility genes account for less than 25% of the familial risk of …

The Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) has been established to conduct combined
case-control analyses with augmented statistical power to try to confirm putative genetic …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified seven breast cancer susceptibility
loci, but these explain only a small fraction of the familial risk of the disease. Five of these …

DNA microarray profiling studies have led to the classification of invasive breast carcinoma
into luminal/estrogen receptor–positive, normal breast–like, Her2/neu-overexpressing, and …
