Independent effects of genetically predicted obesity-related traits on the risk of breast cancer after adjusting for each confounder separately and together using multivariable Mendelian randomization
The y-axis details the genetically predicted confounder(s) for which adjustment was made and the x-axis details the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals per 1-standard deviation increase in exposure. Asterisks (*) denote the tests survived false discovery rate (FDR) correction (PFDR < 0.05). Total effect refers to the estimate derived from univariable Mendelian randomization.
BMI, body mass index; WHR, waist-to-hip ratio; WHRadjBMI, waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for body mass index; ER, oestrogen receptor; AAM, age at menarche; ANM, age at natural menopause; OR, odds ratio.
