The paper identifies a breast cancer risk locus by analyzing functional variants and target genes in mammary fibroblasts, showing their non-autonomous impact on breast cancer risk.

The paper identifies CCDC88C as a risk gene for ER-positive breast cancer by analyzing functional variants from GWAS signals using a massively parallel reporter assay.

This study examines differences in polygenic risk score distributions across European populations and shows how country-specific calibration can improve breast cancer risk prediction.

The paper analyzes rare copy number variants (CNVs) in breast cancer cases and controls, identifying associations with known and novel susceptibility loci.
