Genetic and clinical data suggest dietary factors may influence autism risk via immune pathways, highlighting the need for ...

A groundbreaking new book – the first of its kind in Chinese – is now available to empower researchers with the powerful tool of Mendelian randomization. Translated from the esteemed text "Mendelian ...

Myocardial infarction, more commonly known as a heart attack, is a leading cause of death worldwide. Biomarkers called plasma metabolites may play a key role in the physiological pathways involved in ...

Increased BMI and IBD have causal effects on the risk of hidradenitis suppurativa, as shown by Mendelian randomization analysis. Moderate genetic correlations were found between HS and BMI, smoking, ...

It has been argued that survival bias may distort results in Mendelian randomization studies in older populations. Through simulations of a simple causal structure we investigate the degree to which ...

Traditional epidemiological studies have identified numerous potential risk factors, but observational studies have struggled to establish causal links due to confounding factors and reverse causation ...

Global and genetic analyses link low physical activity to rising heart disease mortality, while higher activity levels appear ...

Serum C-reactive protein (CRP), an important inflammatory marker, has been associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in observational studies; however, the findings are inconsistent. It ...
