Risk Model Tutorial Update:
New update! In addition to the known rare genetic mutations that increase breast cancer risk, there is increasing interest on the impact of more common variations on breast cancer risk. We have added a discussion of polygenic risk score to our Risk Model Tutorial / “Diagnostic Considerations” section.
