  1. The outlier test of MR-PRESSO suggested that no significant outlier was found in the causal effect between PCOS and ER + BC/ER- BC (adjusted for age at menopause), and the causal effect between PCOS and ER- BC (adjusted for triglycerides), so the outliers corrected estimates represent as NA (not available)
