Polygenic score · Health · 11 variants

Breast cancer has a well-studied common-variant component, separate from BRCA genes. This score sums many such variants (relevant to people with breast tissue).

Evidence & sources

This polygenic score combines 11 common variants.

A higher score means higher breast cancer risk.

This score was developed mostly in people of East Asian ancestry (100%), so it may be less accurate for other backgrounds.
