2 Figure 1 Plots of Predicted Risks of Breast Cancer in the General Population and in Individuals with a Family History of Disease and with One Affected First-Degree Relative Top: The probability density functions of predicted risks. Middle: The predictiveness curve (predicted risk plotted against the risk percentile). Bottom: the cumulative density functions of predicted risks. The horizontal line in the middle graph represents the average lifetime risk in the whole population. People with an affected first-degree relative are denoted by “Fam Hx +ve.” The American Journal of Human Genetics  , DOI: ( /j.ajhg ) Copyright © 2011 The American Society of Human Genetics Terms and Conditions
