Reverse causal relationship between periodontitis and shortened telomere length: Bidirectional two-sample Mendelian random analysis
19 Dec 2022
Abstract excerpt
Background: Observational studies have demonstrated a link between shortened telomere lengths(TL) and chronic periodontitis. However, whether the shortened TL is the cause or the result of periodontitis is unknown.Therefore, our objective was to investigate a bidirectional causal relationship between periodontitis and TL using a two-sample Mendel randomized (MR) study. Methods: A two-sample bidirectional MR...
