Associations of High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low-density (LDL) total cholesterol (CHL), and triglyceride (TRG) concentrations with risk biliary tract cancer (BtC) were conflicting in observational studies. We aim to investigate the causal link between circulating lipids BtC using genetic information.
