abstract = {Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have characterized
the contribution of common variants to breast cancer (BC)
risk in populations of European ancestry, however GWAS have
not been reported in resident African populations. This GWAS
included 2485 resident African BC cases and 1101 population
matched controls. Two risk loci were identified, located
between UNC13C and RAB27A on chromosome 15 (rs7181788, p =
1.01 × 10-08) and in USP22 on chromosome 17 (rs899342, p =
4.62 × 10-08). Several genome-wide significant signals were
also detected in hormone receptor subtype analysis. The
novel loci did not replicate in BC GWAS data from
populations of West Africa ancestry suggesting genetic
heterogeneity in different African populations, but further
validation of these findings is needed. A European ancestry
derived polygenic risk model for BC explained only $0.79\%$
of variance in our data. Larger studies in pan-African
populations are needed to further define the genetic
contribution to BC risk.},
