Roles of gut microbiome in epilepsy risk: A Mendelian randomization study

Abstract excerpt

Background Recent studies have suggested an association between gut microbiomes (GMs) and epilepsy. However, the GM taxa identified in different studies are variable. In addition, observational studies cannot indicate causality. Therefore, our study aimed to explore the causal association of GMs with epilepsy and identify the most influential GM taxa. Methods We conducted a Mendelian randomization (MR) study...
