Causal Associations of Urate With Cardiovascular Risk Factors: Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization
8 Jul 2021
Abstract excerpt
Background Mendelian Randomization (MR) studies show conflicting causal associations of genetically predicted serum urate with cardiovascular risk factors (i.e., hypertension, diabetes, lipid profile, and kidney function). This study aimed to robustly investigate a causal relationship between urate and cardiovascular risk factors considering single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as instrumental variables using...
