When evaluating by gene, the age-standardized breast cancer risks for MSH6 (SIR = 2.11; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.56–2.86) and PMS2 (SIR = 2.92; 95% CI, 2.17–3.92) were associated with a statistically significant risk for breast cancer whereas no association was observed for MLH1 (SIR = 0.87; 95% CI, 0.42–1.83) or MSH2 (SIR = 1.22; 95% CI, 0.72–2.06). Here, MSH2 is linked to breast carcinoma.
