Popis: Abstract Background Contralateral breast cancer (CBC) is the most common second primary cancer diagnosed in breast cancer survivors, yet the understanding of the genetic susceptibility of CBC, particularly with respect to common variants, remains incomplete. This study aimed to investigate the genetic basis of CBC to better understand this malignancy. Findings We performed a genome-wide association analysis in the Women’s Environmental Cancer and Radiation Epidemiology (WECARE) Study of women with first breast cancer diagnosed at age
