BACKGROUND: Breast cancer (BC) is a major global health concern. Although observational studies have reported an association between hypertension and BC risk, the causal nature of this relationship remains unclear. METHODS: We performed a univariate two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the causal effect of genetically predicted hypertension on overall BC risk and its molecular subtypes....
