When the sun blinds the pilot to the point of losing visibility, then he does what he would in any situation of losing visibility - he goes around.
That said, it is quite unusual for it to be bad enough that you can't see the runway to continue the approach... I've certainly seen decreased visibility due to the sun making it very difficult, but not to the point of having to go around... but the theory that it could is certainly sound.
