Associations Between Lipid Traits and Breast Cancer Risk: A Mendelian Randomization Study in African Women
This study provides evidence that elevated triglycerides may be associated with a reduced risk of BC, whereas no significant associations were observed for TC, HDL, or LDL. Further research is needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms and potential clinical implications of these findings.
