*

Statistical significance based on a 1 df trend test. All statistical tests were two-sided. CI = confidence interval; ER = estrogen receptor; HR = hazard ratio; MAF = minor allele frequency.

Gene name, chromosomal band, and chromosomal position based on dbSNP building 130 (ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/snp).

Common allele and rare allele.

§

The MAF was based on SEARCH population data.

Fixed-effects meta-analysis of study-specific hazard ratios.
