If high BMI increases genomic risk in ER-positive, ERBB2-negative breast cancer, weight control will become more important.<h4>Objective</h4>To assess the association between RS and BMI according to age groups and address BMI as a factor associated with high RS.<h4>Design, setting, and participants</h4>This cohort study included 2295 patients with ER-positive, ERBB2-negative breast cancer who had undergone a multigene assay between March 29, 2010, and December 31, 2020, in 2 hospitals. All of the study patients were Korean women, and the median follow-up period was 45 months (range, 1-40 months). The correlations between continuous RS and BMI were investigated. A high BMI was defined as a body mass index greater than or equal to 25. In the younger age group (age ≤45 years), a high RS was defined as an RS of greater than 20.<h4>Exposures</h4>Body mass index.<h4>Main outcomes and measures</h4>The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to estimate the association between RS and BMI. A multivariable binary logistic model was used to identify high RS.<h4>Results</h4>Among the 2295 women included (mean [SD] age, 49.8 [4.00] years; range, 22-81 years), 776 were aged 45 years or younger; RS and BMI were weakly correlated (correlation coefficient, 0.119; P < .001) in this younger group. Among them, the proportion of patients with an RS greater than 20 was significantly higher in the high BMI group than in the normal BMI group (45.5% [46 of 101] vs 27.3% [184 of 675]; P < .001). In the multivariable analysis, high BMI was an associated factor for high RS (odds ratio, 2.06; 95% CI, 1.28-3.32; P = .003). The 21-gene multigene assay-guided chemotherapy rate was significantly higher in patients with high BMI (30.7% [31 of 101] vs 20.2% [136 of 674]; P = .02).<h4>Conclusions and relevance</h4>In this cohort study of women aged 45 years or younger, high BMI was associated with higher RS in those with ER-positive, ERBB2-negative breast cancer; further studies are necessary to examine the underlying mechanisms."],"journal":["JAMA network open"],"pagination":["e2243935"],"full_dataset_link":["https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9706366"],"repository":["biostudies-literature"],"pubmed_title":["Association of Body Mass Index With 21-Gene Recurrence Score Among Women With Estrogen Receptor-Positive, ERBB2-Negative Breast Cancer."],"pmcid":["PMC9706366"],"pubmed_authors":["Jeong J","Bae SJ","Son BH","Kim H","Lee J","Ahn SH","Ahn SG","Ji JH","Lee SB","Lee JW"],"additional_accession":[]},"is_claimable":false,"name":"Association of Body Mass Index With 21-Gene Recurrence Score Among Women With Estrogen Receptor-Positive, ERBB2-Negative Breast Cancer.","description":"<h4>Importance</h4>Body mass index (BMI) may affect the 21-gene recurrence score (RS) in patients with ER-positive, ERBB2-negative breast cancer.
