Comparative StudyGenetic susceptibility loci for subtypes of breast cancer in an African American population.
Most genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been carried out in European ancestry populations; no risk variants for breast cancer have been identified solely from African ancestry GWAS data. Few GWAS hits have replicated in African ancestry populations. ⋯ The findings illustrate the importance of genetic factors in the disproportionately high occurrence of TNBC in African American women.
