SNPs in peak 1 were not associated with overall risk of BC in BRCA2 carriers (for example, rs67397200 HR for BC=1.00 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.93–0.89)); however, SNP rs67397200 showed evidence of association with OC for BRCA2 mutation carriers (hazards ratio (HR)=1.18, 95% CI: 1.06–1.36, χ2-test P=0.0056). The gene discussed is BRCA2; the disease is breast cancer.
