Genome- and transcriptome-wide association studies of 386,000 Asian and European-ancestry women provide new insights into breast cancer genetics

Using data from 386,000 Asian- and European-ancestry women, we conducted extensive genome- and transcriptome-wide association studies that identified 222 risk loci and 137 genes in association with breast cancer risk. These studies, along with pathway analyses, provide a comprehensive understanding of and new biological insights into the genetics of breast cancer.
