Genetic variations in HMGCR and PCSK9 and kidney function: a Mendelian randomization study
22 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The genetically predicted lipid-lowering effect of HMGCR or PCSK9 variant can be used to assess drug proxy effects on kidney function. METHODS: Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis-identified HMGCR and PCSK9 genetic variants were used to predict the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol-lowering effects of medications targeting related molecules. Primary summary-level outcome data for...
