29 Nov 2023
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background Altered interleukin (IL)-18 levels are associated with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), but no studies have investigated their causal relationship. This study aimed to examine the causal associations between IL-18 and IMIDs. Methods We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Genetic variants were selected from genome-wide association study datasets following...
