Body mass index, C-reactive protein, and pancreatic cancer: A Mendelian randomization analysis to investigate causal pathways
2 Feb 2023
Abstract excerpt
Aim To explore whether C-reactive protein (CRP) mediates the risk of body mass index (BMI) in pancreatic cancer (PC) and calculate the mediate proportion of CRP in this possible mechanism. Methods Based on two-sample Mendelian randomization (TSMR), a two-step Mendelian randomization (TM) model was conducted to determine whether CRP was a mediator of the causal relationship between BMI and PC. The multivariable...
