Observed odds of breast cancer for quintiles of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) risk, stratified by Gail risk quintile (open circles). The overall odds of breast cancer in our study for case patients and control subjects were 1:1 because equal numbers of case patients and control subjects were selected. Quintiles of Gail and SNP risk are labeled 1–5 from lowest to highest risk. The straight lines represent linear least squares fits to the data within each Gail risk stratum. SNP risk was consistently associated with breast cancer odds within the Gail risk strata.
