Causal relationships between serum matrix metalloproteinases and estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer: a bidirectional mendelian randomization study

Abstract To better clarify the causal effects between matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and estrogen-receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer (BC), we investigated the bidirectional causal relationship between MMPs and ER-negative BC by mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Summary statistic data of fiv...
