BC1 first primary breast cancer, CBC contralateral breast cancer, CI confidence interval, HR hazard ratio, PRS polygenic risk score, UBC unilateral breast cancer.

aHRs for association with breast cancer and the continuous PRS313 are reported per standard deviation of the PRS in population-based controls.

bClass I pathogenic variants result in an unstable or no protein. Class II pathogenic variants yield stable mutant proteins.
