Cross-ancestry GWAS meta-analysis identifies six breast cancer loci in African and European ancestry women

GWAS have enhanced our understanding for the genetic basis of breast cancer, but the majority of them were performed for European ancestry populations. Here, the authors use a cross-ancestry approach and report seven new variants associated with breast cancer risk among women of African ancestry.
