A genome-wide association study conducted among women with deleterious BRCA1 mutations has identified a common allele associated with breast cancer risk in BRCA1 carriers and estrogen receptor–negative breast cancer in the general population. This suggests that genetic association studies focused on particular subtypes may provide further insight into complex diseases.
