The genome-wide association study (GWAS) for breast cancer has been completed in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) with nearly 550,000 SNPs genotyped. The analysis includes 1,145 individuals who developed breast cancer during the observational period and 1,142 individuals who did not develop breast cancer during the same time period. The breast cancer scan has been conducted using the Illumina 550K chip. Both the genotype data and the pre-computed analyses based on the genotype data are available through the portal.
