Cases were women whose full sister was fully enrolled in the Sister Study. They had to be able to answer questions in English and they had to have been diagnosed before age 50 and within 4 years of enrollment. They agreed to be followed over time, to participate in three interviews by phone and provide saliva for DNA extraction via a mail-back kit (Oragene) and they provided informed consent. They were asked to send a letter from us to their parents, inviting them to provide saliva samples. Parents provided informed consent for genotyping. The consent forms all made clear that genotype results would not be returned to participants.

When both parents were available, the control sister was not genotyped, as non-transmitted parental alleles can fill that role.
