Genetic analyses unravel the causal association of cytokine levels on lichen simplex chronicus risk: insights from a mendelian randomization study.

Abstract excerpt

Lichen simplex chronicus (LSC) presents a challenge in dermatology due to its elusive pathogenic mechanisms. While associations between circulating inflammatory cytokines and LSC were observed, the definitive causal dynamics remain to be elucidated. Our study used a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to investigate causal relationships. We applied a suite of MR methodologies, including IVW, Weighted...
