Table 1 Results of MR between genetically predicted thyroid cancer (exposure, N = 1187) and breast cancer (outcome, N = 228,951), ER (+) breast cancer (outcome, N = 175,475), ER (-) breast cancer (outcome, N = 127,442)

From: Unbalanced bidirectional causal association between thyroid cancer and ER-positive breast cancer: should we recommend screening for thyroid cancer in breast cancer patients?
