Title of project: 
GWAS of breast density in ALSPC
Proposal summary: 

Breast density, the proportion of fibroglandular tissue as detected by mammography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is strongly associated with breast cancer risk. However, the mechanisms through which increased breast density leads to increased cancer risk are not well understood. This project aims to map the contribution of common genetic variation to breast density as detected by MRI in a subset of nulliparous women.
