Abstract excerpt
Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that autoimmune diseases are closely associated with bronchiectasis (BE). However, the causal effects between autoimmune diseases and BE remain elusive. Methods: All summary-level data were obtained from large-scale Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS). The univariate Mendelian randomization (UVMR) was utilized to investigate the genetic causal correlation (rg) of...
