The polygenic component of breast cancer refers to the combined effect of many common SNPs, each conferring a small increase in risk, typically under 1.3-fold. Identified mainly through GWAS, these low-penetrance variants collectively explain 18–20% of familial breast cancer risk and are quantified using a polygenic risk score (PRS) <ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Michailidou|first=Kyriaki|last2=Lindström|first2=Sara|last3=Dennis|first3=Joe|last4=Beesley|first4=Jonathan|last5=Hui|first5=Shirley|last6=Kar|first6=Siddhartha|last7=Lemaçon|first7=Audrey|last8=Soucy|first8=Penny|last9=Glubb|first9=Dylan|date=2017-11-02|title=Association analysis identifies 65 new breast cancer risk loci|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29059683|journal=Nature|volume=551|issue=7678|pages=92–94|doi=10.1038/nature24284|issn=1476-4687|pmc=5798588|pmid=29059683}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite journal|last=Mavaddat|first=Nasim|last2=Pharoah|first2=Paul D.

There are no specific histologic features directly attributable to polygenic risk alleles. However, these variants tend to be enriched in specific breast cancer subtypes. For example, ER-positive tumors, which are estrogen receptor–driven and often of ductal histology, are more strongly associated with many common susceptibility alleles. In contrast, ER-negative tumors, including those seen more frequently in BRCA1 mutation carriers, show enrichment for a smaller subset of variants. Similarly, lobular carcinomas—characterized by a lack of E-cadherin expression—have been associated with unique risk variants distinct from those found in ductal carcinomas<ref name=":2">{{Cite journal|last=Sawyer|first=Elinor|last2=Roylance|first2=Rebecca|last3=Petridis|first3=Christos|last4=Brook|first4=Mark N.|last5=Nowinski|first5=Salpie|last6=Papouli|first6=Efterpi|last7=Fletcher|first7=Olivia|last8=Pinder|first8=Sarah|last9=Hanby|first9=Andrew|date=2014-04|title=Genetic predisposition to in situ and invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24743323|journal=PLoS genetics|volume=10|issue=4|pages=e1004285|doi=10.1371/journal.pgen.1004285|issn=1553-7404|pmc=3990493|pmid=24743323}}</ref>.
