Purpose We comprehensively evaluated genetic variants in DNA repair genes with premenopausal breast cancer risk. Methods In this nested case-control study of 239 prospectively ascertained premenopausal breast cancer cases and 477 matched controls within the Nurses' Health Study II, we evaluated 1,463 genetic variants in 60 candidate genes across five DNA repair pathways, along with DNA polymerases, Fanconi Anemia complementation groups, and other related genes. Results Four variants were associated with breast cancer risk with a significance level of
