A genome-wide cross-trait analysis identifies genomic correlation, pleiotropic loci, and causal relationship between sex hormone-binding globulin and rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Our study aims to investigate an intrinsic link underlying sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which remains inconclusive in observational settings. METHODS: Summary statistics were collected from the largest GWAS(s) on SHBG adjusted for BMI (SHBGadjBMI; Noverall = 368,929; Nmen = 180,094; Nwomen = 188,908), crude SHBG (Noverall = 370,125; Nmen = 180,726;...
