  • *For white European men, unless otherwise indicated.

  • †Proportion of subjects carrying the variant.

  • CHEK2 c.1343T>G (p.Ile448Ser) was the only CHEK2 variant observed in African men and was identified in two cases and no controls of white European origin.

  • §Based on data from 623 and 569 African-American cases and controls, respectively.

  • LRT, likelihood ratio test; OR, OR for carriers of the variant versus common-allele homozygotes, adjusted for study and seven principal components.
