Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The causal effects of plasma lipid concentrations and the risk of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) are still unclear. Thus, the purpose of this study was to identify, applying a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis, whether plasma lipid concentrations are causally associated with the risk of POAG. METHODS: Two-sample MR analysis of data from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was...
