C-Reactive Protein Levels and Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases: A Two-Sample Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study
23 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels are an indicator of inflammation, a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, this potential association in observational studies remains inconclusive. We performed a two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) study using publicly available GWAS summary statistics to evaluate the relationship between CRP and CVD. Instrumental variables (IVs)...
