Genome-wide association study identifies multiple loci associated with both mammographic density and breast cancer risk
Mammographic density reflects the amount of stromal and epithelial tissues in relation to
adipose tissue in the breast and is a strong risk factor for breast cancer. Here we report the …

Evidence of gene–environment interactions between common breast cancer susceptibility loci and established environmental risk factors
Various common genetic susceptibility loci have been identified for breast cancer; however,
it is unclear how they combine with lifestyle/environmental risk factors to influence risk. We …
