Exploring the Effect of the Gut Microbiome on the Risk of Age-Related Macular Degeneration From the Perspective of Causality
14 Jun 2023
Abstract excerpt
Purpose: To explore the mechanisms relating the gut microbiome (GM) to age-related macular degeneration (AMD), as they remain unclear. GM taxa that appear to act within the gut-retina axis may affect the risk of AMD. Methods: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of 196 GM taxa were obtained from the MiBioGen consortium, and a Mendelian randomization (MR) study was carried out to estimate the causality between...
