BACKGROUND: Previous prospective studies highlighted aberrant immunoglobulin G (IgG) N-glycosylation as a risk factor for dementia [such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD)]. It is unclear whether this association is causal or explained by confounding or reverse causation. OBJECTIVE: The aim is to examine the association of genetically predicted IgG N-glycosylation with dementia using 2-sample...
