Minor allele increases risk of breast cancer in BRCA2 mutation carriers in a study size of 23,463 carriers[PMID 24698998
]. The study considers rs804276 and rs804271 more likely causal variants, but they're not tested by standard beadchips. All are thought to affect NEIL2, which removes oxidized bases from transcribing genes.
