摘要

Polygenic risk scores (PRS) have been shown to be predictive of breast cancer (BC) risk in European BRCA1 and BRCA2 pathogenic variant (PV) carriers, but their utility in Asian populations has not been evaluated. In this study, we evaluated the association of two breast cancer PRS developed for the East Asian general population and three versions of a PRS developed for the European general population in 604 BRCA1 (390 affected by breast cancer) and 785 BRCA2 (552 affected by breast cancer) PV female carriers of Asian ancestry. Only the Asian-based PRS, constructed using approximately 1 million single-nucleotide variations (SNVs), showed a significant association with breast cancer risk (Hazard Ratio per standard deviation (95% Confidence Interval) is 1.47 (1.10–1.95) for BRCA1 and 1.43 (1.04–1.95) for BRCA2). Incorporating this PRS into risk prediction models may improve cancer risk assessment among PV carriers of Asian ancestry.
