Evaluation of SNPs associated with mammographic density in European women with mammographic density in Asian women from South-East Asia

ConclusionOur study confirms the associations of 21 SNPs (19/55 or 34.5% out of all known MD loci identified in women of European ancestry) with area and/or volumetric densities in Asian women, and further supports the evidence of a shared genetic basis through common genetic variants for MD and breast cancer risk.
