Researchers used a Mendelian randomization approach to conduct a genetic association analysis of the levels of over 3,000 proteins to identify biomarkers for early breast cancer detection.
Researchers found that women with any type of migraine are at an increased risk of developing overall breast cancer, especially estrogen-receptor breast cancer.
Using Mendelian randomization analysis, the study finds a genetic link between migraine susceptibility and increased risk of overall and estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. However, the findings suggest caution in interpretation, highlighting the need for further research to solidify these associations.
