Interaction between blood pressure and genetic risk score for bladder cancer, and risk of urothelial carcinoma in men

Abstract There is substantial genetic predisposition to bladder cancer (BC). Recently, blood pressure (BP) was positively associated with BC risk in men, but the potential interaction with genetic susceptibility for BC is unknown. We investigated a weighted genetic risk score (wGRS) of 18 BC genetic...
