Abstract excerpt
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of death in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Despite clinical evidence supporting an association between SLE and CAD, pleiotropy-adjusted genetic association studies are limited and focus on only a few common risk loci. Here, we identify a net positive causal estimate of SLE-associated non-HLA SNPs on CAD by traditional Mendelian randomization (MR)...
