Causal Links Between Systemic Disorders and Keratoconus in European Population.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To establish the presence of a causal linkage between prevalent systemic diseases and keratoconus (KC). DESIGN: Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. METHODS: After an exhaustive screening process, genetic variants linked to various systemic diseases were identified as instrumental variables at the genome-wide significance level. Subsequently, MR analyses were conducted to elucidate their potential...
