Zusammenfassung: | Background
A breast cancer polygenic risk score (PRS) comprising 313 common variants reliably predicts disease risk. We examined possible relationships between genetic variation, regulation, and expression to clarify the molecular alterations associated with these variants.
Methods
Genome-wide methylomic variation was quantified (MethylationEPIC) in Asian breast cancer patients (1152 buffy coats from peripheral whole blood). DNA methylation (DNAm) quantitative trait loci (mQTL) mapping was performed for 235 of the 313 variants with minor allele frequencies > 5%. Stability of identified mQTLs (
