We have identified four SNPs associated with ovarian cancer risk in BRCA2 mutation carriers, rs167715 and rs4135087 in the TDG gene, rs34259 in the UNG gene and rs3093926 in PARP2. However, these last results should be interpreted with caution given that the number of BRCA2 carriers affected with ovarian cancer is four-fold lower than for BRCA1 carriers and the statistical power was therefore more limited, increasing the possibility of false-positives. The gene discussed is PARP2; the disease is ovarian cancer.
