The authors identify four genes positively associated with genetic susceptibility to breast cancer (FGFR2, TNRC9, MAP3K1 and LSP1). Further investigation indicates that many additional susceptibility alleles of more modest effect may also be identifiable by this approach.

Only one of the genes - FGFR2 - had a clear prior relevance to breast cancer. In Nature Genetics, two studies provide further evidence of the risk for breast cancer.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
