AUC = area under the curve, BCSC = Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium, BRCAT = Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool, CI = confidence interval, IBIS = International Breast Cancer Intervention Study, NR = not reported, SNPs = single-nucleotide polymorphisms. 1Range involves AUC values for varying risk factors. The bold values present the AUC value ranges.
