Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified many loci for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, identification of functionally relevant genes remains a challenge. The aim of this study was to highlight potential causal genes for SLE in the GWAS loci. By applying Mendelian randomization (MR) methods, such as summary data-based MR (SMR), generalized SMR and MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier,...
