To illustrate potential mutation - specific effects on absolute cancer risks, we used the hazard ratio estimates to derive approximate absolute risks and 95 % confidence intervals, based on published estimates for the overall risks of breast and ovarian cancer by age 70 years.26 These estimates are for illustration and do not represent absolute risk estimates that would be required in a genetic counseling setting, as they do not account for noncancer outcomes that may influence a woman's life expectancy, the effects of family history, and nonrandom ascertainment of mutation carriers in this sample and depend on assumptions about the prevalence of different mutation classes in the population.
