A Personal Breast Cancer Risk Stratification Model Using Common Variants and Environmental Risk Factors in Japanese Females.

ABSTRACT: Personalized approaches to prevention based on genetic risk models have been anticipated, and many models for the prediction of individual breast cancer risk have been developed. However, few studies have evaluated personalized risk using both genetic and environmental factors. We developed a risk model using genetic and environmental risk factors using 1319 breast cancer cases and 2094 controls from three case-control studies in Japan. Risk groups were defined based on the number of risk alleles for 14 breast cancer susceptibility loci, namely low (0-10 alleles), moderate (11-16) and high (17+). Environmental risk factors were collected using a self-administered questionnaire and implemented with harmonization. Odds ratio (OR) and C-statistics, calculated using a logistic regression model
