Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Elevated serum matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) concentrations are associated with high risk of vascular disease, but the causality remains unclear. A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study was performed to examine the causal effect of serum MMP-8 concentrations on the risk of ischaemic stroke, ischaemic stroke subtypes and coronary artery disease. METHODS: Ten independent...
