To investigate whether common genetic variants modify penetrance for&nbsp;<em>BRCA2</em>&nbsp;mutation carriers, we undertook a two-staged genome-wide association study in&nbsp;<em>BRCA2</em>&nbsp;mutation carriers. In stage 1 using the Affymetrix 6.0 platform, 592,163 filtered SNPs genotyped were available on 899 young (&lt;40 years) affected and 804 unaffected carriers of European ancestry. Associations were evaluated using a survival-based score test adjusted for familial correlations and stratified by country of the study and&nbsp;<em>BRCA2*6174delT</em>&nbsp;mutation status. The genomic inflation factor (&lambda;) was 1.011. The stage 1 association analysis revealed multiple variants associated with breast cancer risk: 3 SNPs had p-values&lt;10<span>&minus;5</span>&nbsp;and 39 SNPs had p-values&lt;10<span>&minus;4</span>. These variants included several previously associated with sporadic breast cancer risk and two novel loci on chromosome 20 (rs311499) and chromosome 10 (rs16917302). The chromosome 10 locus was in&nbsp;<em>ZNF365</em>, which contains another variant that has recently been associated with breast cancer in an independent study of unselected cases. In stage 2, the top 85 loci from stage 1 were genotyped in 1,264 cases and 1,222 controls. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for stage 1 and 2 were combined and estimated using a retrospective likelihood approach, stratified by country of residence and the most common mutation,&nbsp;<em>BRCA2*6174delT</em>. The combined per allele HR of the minor allele for the novel loci rs16917302 was 0.75 (95% CI 0.66&ndash;0.86,&nbsp;<span class="inline-formula"><img class="inline-graphic" src="https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article/file?type=thumbnail&id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1001183.e001" alt="" /></span>) and for rs311499 was 0.72 (95% CI 0.61&ndash;0.85,&nbsp;<span class="inline-formula"><img class="inline-graphic" src="https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article/file?type=thumbnail&id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1001183.e002" alt="" /></span>).&nbsp;<em>FGFR2</em>&nbsp;rs2981575 had the strongest association with breast cancer risk (per allele HR = 1.28, 95% CI 1.18&ndash;1.39,&nbsp;<span class="inline-formula"><img class="inline-graphic" src="https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article/file?type=thumbnail&id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1001183.e003" alt="" /></span>). These results indicate that SNPs that modify&nbsp;<em>BRCA2</em>&nbsp;penetrance identified by an agnostic approach thus far are limited to variants that also modify risk of sporadic&nbsp;<em>BRCA2</em>&nbsp;wild-type breast cancer.</p> 000010882 536__ $$oStarr Cancer Research Consortium 000010882 536__ $$oBreast Cancer Research Foundation 000010882 536__ $$1P20CA103694-3$$oNational Institutes of Health 000010882 536__ $$oLymphoma Foundation 000010882 540__ $$a<p>This is an open access article, free of all copyright, and may be freely reproduced, distributed, transmitted, modified, built upon, or otherwise used by anyone for any lawful purpose.
