Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Glutamine family amino acids such as glutamate, pyroglutamate, and glutamine have been shown to play important roles in COVID-19. However, it is still unclear about the role of pyroglutamate in COVID-19. Thus, we use a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study to identify the genetic causal link between blood pyroglutamine levels and COVID-19 risk. METHODS: Pyroglutamine genetic instrumental...
