  2. *Categories Medullary, Mucinous and Papillary were combined for the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test
  3. #Categories Mixed, Tubular, Medullary, Mucinous and Papillary were combined for the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test
  4. The “missing” category included also rare forms of breast cancer, which did not belong to the named categories: 1179 non-carriers, 25 p.I157T carriers and 9 c.1100delC carriers
  5. Tumor subtypes are defined according to ER, PR and Her2 expression following the St Gallen 2013 guidelines [34]
  6. Italics is used to indicate the proportion of study subjects in each category. E.G. 'ER-positive/all with known ER-status' or 'missing/all study subjects'
