Nuclear magnetic resonance-determined lipoprotein profile and risk of breast cancer: a Mendelian randomization study

ConclusionWe identified a heterogeneous effect of subclass HDLs and a consistent protective effect of VLDL on breast cancer. Only the effects of small HDL and VLDL on ER  + subtype remained robust after controlling for obesity. These findings provide new insight into the causal pathway underlying lipoproteins and breast cancer.
