Sleep patterns and breast cancer risk: a genetic study using two data groups

AI simplified

Abstract

Genetic analysis of sleep patterns involved n = 177,604 for morning/evening person and n = 133,384 breast cancer cases.

  • Chronotype, encompassing both morning and evening types, is associated with the risk of overall breast cancer.
  • Being a morning person is linked to a lower risk of breast cancer in general.
  • Daytime dozing is connected to a reduced risk of breast cancer overall.
  • Morning person chronotype shows a negative association with luminal B, HER2-negative-like subtypes.
  • Daytime dozing is negatively correlated with luminal A-like, luminal B-like, and HER2-enriched-like subtypes.
