Abstract excerpt
Objectives: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and certain inflammatory cytokines (such as interleukin 1 [IL-1] and tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-a]) are related; however, the causal relationship remains unclear.

Methods: Two-sample bidirectional MR was performed using genetic variation data...
