Score Details

Score Construction
PGS Name TNBC_PRS41
Development Method
Name Suggestive genome-wide significant SNPs
Parameters After removal of variants with MAF < 0.01, an imputation quality score r2 of < 0.8, small INDELs, and the C/G or A/T SNPs due to strand ambiguity, SNPs with P<5×10-7 were included. The SNPs were then clumped using r2<0.1, and the 1000 Genomes Phase 3 EUR data as the LD reference.

Performance Metrics

Disclaimer: The performance metrics are displayed as reported by the source studies. It is important to note that metrics are not necessarily comparable with each other. For example, metrics depend on the sample characteristics (described by the PGS Catalog Sample Set [PSS] ID), phenotyping, and statistical modelling. Please refer to the source publication for additional guidance on performance.

PSS011672 The molecular intrinsic subtypes of breast cancer were determined following the strategy of Giovanni's work using the PAM50 classifier in the TCGA-BRCA. Basal-like and luminal-like breast cancer were determined by PAM50.
