Variability of mammographic density

Title: Health Research Project (PS09/00790): Variability of mammographic density in Spanish women: association with habits, reproductive factors and genetic determinants.

Contractor: Health Research Fund

Period: 2010-2012

Principal Investigator: Beatriz Perez. National Epidemiology Center (Instituto de Salud Carlos III)

Description: This project aims to characterize the variability in mammographic density in women recruited to the study DDM-Spain (n = 3500) and identify possible risk factors associated with mammographic density changes in our environment. In addition, we want to evaluate the relationship between mammographic pattern and variation in genes associated with breast density.
