Background: Women with deleterious mutations in BRCA genes are at increased risk of breast cancer. However, the penetrance of the genetic trait may be regulated through environmental factors. This multi-national case-only study tested the interaction between oral contraceptive use and genetic susceptibility in the occurrence of breast cancer. Methods: We recruited 3,123 patients diagnosed with breast cancer before the age of 45 years. Participants were classified according to their probability of carrying a BRCA mutation on the basis of their family history of breast and ovarian cancer. According to a case-only approach, the frequency of relevant expo-sures among breast cancer cases with high probabilit
