  • Genome-wide interaction analysis of menopausal hormone therapy use and breast cancer risk among 62,370 women - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35418701

    ABSTRACT: Use of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) is associated with increased risk for breast cancer. However, the relevant mechanisms and its interaction with genetic variants are not fully understood. We conducted a genome-wide interaction analysis between MHT use and genetic variants for breast cancer risk in 27,585 cases and 34,785 controls from 26 observational studies. All women were post-menopausal and of European ancestry. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to test for multiplicative interactions between genetic variants and current MHT use. We considered interaction p-values < 5 × 10-8 as genome-wide significant, and p-values < 1 × 10-5 as suggestive. Linkage disequilibrium (LD)-based clumping was performed to identify independent candidate v

  • rs11738429 A allele and menopausal hormone therapy Moderate

    A allele carriers show 17% increased odds of breast cancer per allele when using menopausal hormone therapy

    If considering MHT for menopausal symptoms, discuss this genetic marker with your doctor before starting
