Abstract excerpt

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) usually co-exist clinically. However, whether such association is causal is still unknown. Methods: Genetic variants were extracted as instrumental variables from the largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) of IBD, Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) with 25,042 cases and 34,915 controls (GWAS p-value < 5...
