Genome-wide testing of putative functional exonic variants in relationship with breast and prostate cancer risk in a multiethnic population.

Rare variation in protein coding sequence is poorly captured by GWAS arrays and has been hypothesized to contribute to disease heritability. Using the Illumina HumanExome SNP array, we successfully genotyped 191,032 common and rare non-synonymous, splice site, or nonsense variants in a multiethnic s...
