Table 3.

Comparison of risk group categorization between the life-time breast cancer risk calculation including family history and mutation status and PRS311 (FH + PRS), the calculation including questionnaire-based risk factors and PRS (FH + QRF + PRS), and the calculation also including breast density (FH + QRF + PRS + BD) in women from whom breast density information was available.

Differences in risk groups are shown for heterozygotes and non-carriers separately. The numbers of shifts might be different than expected from the presented data, as individual changes in risk category are not visible within this Table. for one heterozygotes, relevant QRFs were not available, and therefore only data on FH + PRS were used and by definition they did not change category.
