By combining data from 160,500 individuals with breast cancer and 226,196 controls of Asian and European ancestry, we conducted genome-and transcriptome-wide association studies of breast cancer. We identified 222 genetic risk loci and 137 genes that were asso-ciated with breast cancer risk at a p &...
