TT genotype was used as the reference group

Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (OC) adjusted for age, ethnicity, education, family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer, menopausal status, use of contraceptive and menopausal hormones and, in the combined analysis, study.

P for heterogeneity of the association of the rs5275 with risk by ethnicity and study strata was estimated using a Wald test of the genotype-stratum interaction term
