The combined effect of SNPs rs2981582 and rs3803662 on breast cancer risk was studied in the ORIGO cohort. The observed odds ratios and their 95% confidence intervals are presented. wt/wt, patients homozygous for the wildtype allele; wt/mt, patients heterozygous for the wildtype and mutated or minor allele; mt/mt, patients homozygous for the mutated or minor allele. P value for overall differences = 0.022.
