Based on Kaplan Meier curves at age 70.

b

False negatives are female participants (out of 25,591) who were diagnosed with breast cancer before age 50 but were not identified by the genetic screening approach.

c

If all women with a FHx-BrCa recorded at any time were ascertained before diagnosis.

d

Only including women with FHx-BrCa recorded in EHR before a BrCa diagnosis.
