An exploration of causal relationships between nine neurological diseases and the risk of breast cancer: a Mendelian randomization study

CONCLUSIONS: This study found the trends towards a decreased risk of ER+ breast cancer in patients with Alzheimer's disease and an increased risk in patients with multiple sclerosis. However, due to the limitations of Mendelian randomization, we cannot determine whether there are definite causal relationships between neurological diseases and breast cancer risk. For conclusive evidences, more prospective randomized controlled trials will be needed in the future.PMID:38663930 | DOI:10.18632/aging.205745
