  ABSTRACT: Simple Summary In the US, Black women are disproportionately affected by higher breast cancer mortality rates and later-stage tumor diagnoses compared with White women. Breast density, the ratio of dense fibroglandular breast tissue to overall breast tissue area, has previously been identified as an important breast cancer risk factor. Most current genome-wide association studies for breast density have been performed in participants of European ancestry, which have yielded important insights into genetic etiology of breast density. However, little is known about the influence of common genetic variants on breast density in African ancestry populations. Our study aimed to determine genetic factors associated with breast density in African ancestry populations using a Genome-Wide
