Common genetic variation and novel loci associated with volumetric mammographic density

Abstract Background Mammographic density (MD) is a strong and heritable intermediate phenotype of breast cancer, but much of its genetic variation remains unexplained. Methods We conducted a genetic association study of volumetric MD in a Swedish mammography screening cohort (n = 9498) to identify n...
