Parkinson's Disease and Ischemic Stroke: a Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study.

Abstract excerpt

We aimed to assess the potential causal association between Parkinson's disease (PD) and ischemic stroke (IS) with Mendelian randomization methods. Summary statistics data from two large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for 33,674 PD cases and 40,585 IS cases were used in this study. We used inverse variance-weighted method for primary analysis, and four other Mendelian randomization methods (weighted...
