A Mendelian randomization study on the effects of plasma lipids on irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia

Abstract excerpt

Although functional gastrointestinal disorder (FGID) is a common clinical condition, its risk factors remain unclear. We performed a Mendelian randomization study to explore the association between plasma lipids and the risk of FGID. Instrumental variables closely related to six plasma lipids were obtained from the corresponding genome-wide association studies, and summary-level data on FGID, including irritable...
