Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms Do Not Substantially Improve Risk Prediction for Breast Cancer

The first 10% of the full text of this article appears below.

Recently identified genetic markers, called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), that are associated with a small but statistically significant increase in the risk of breast cancer do not appear to substantially improve the accuracy of existing models that use clinical factors to predict an individual's risk, according to a study in the July 8 online issue of the . . .
