GWAS meta-analysis followed by Mendelian randomization revealed potential control mechanisms for circulating α-Klotho levels
15 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
The protein α-Klotho acts as transmembrane co-receptor for fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and is a key regulator of phosphate homeostasis. However, α-Klotho also exists in a circulating form, with pleiotropic, but incompletely understood functions and regulation. Therefore, we undertook a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis followed by Mendelian randomization (MR) of circulating α-Klotho...
