The influence of obesity-related factors in the etiology of renal cell carcinoma—A mendelian randomization study

3 Jan 2019

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Several obesity-related factors have been associated with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), but it is unclear which individual factors directly influence risk. We addressed this question using genetic markers as proxies for putative risk factors and evaluated their relation to RCC risk in a mendelian randomization (MR) framework. This methodology limits bias due to confounding and is not affected by reverse...
