Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is a known target for promoting growth and has been implicated as a therapeutic opportunity for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study aimed to explore the effect of CNP on CVD risk using the Mendelian randomization (MR) framework. METHODS: Instrumental variables mimicking the effects of pharmacological intervention on CNP were...
