Individuals with rare variants are aggregated within MAF categories. Common variants (MAF>2.5%) are listed separately. Frequencies correspond to combined frequencies of heterozygotes or homozygote variants.

b

In addition to the variants listed, 3 women with CBC and 3 women with UBC had rare variants that were either in-frame deletions, frameshifts, nonsense mutations or variants in the untranslated regions (UTR). In addition there is a 5′ UTR polymorphism (203G>A) that was observed in 269 CBC and 528 UBC (OR=1.0). BRCA2 (GenBank NM_000059.1) mutation nomenclature according to BIC. IVS=intervening sequence (noncoding). Mutation nomenclature according to HGVS is found in Supp. Table S1.

c

95% confidence interval.

d

The reference group for each RR consists of women carrying all other types of VUSs and excludes carriers of known deleterious BRCA mutations.
