Abstract excerpt
Objectives: To find out the genetic association between IL6 and autoimmune arthritis. Methods: We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study using multiple genome-wide association studies (GWAS) datasets. Furthermore, a sex-stratified MR study was performed to identify sexual dimorphism in the association between IL6 and autoimmune arthritis. Then, LocusZoom plots were displayed based on the IL6R...
