Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have established a genetic link between gut microbiota and hypertension, but whether blood cell count plays a mediating role in this remains unknown. This study aims to explore genetic associations and causal factors involving the gut microbiome, peripheral blood cell count, and blood pressure. METHODS: We utilized summary statistics derived from genome-wide association studies to...
