Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mendelian randomization (MR) studies suggest a causal effect of iron status on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, but it is unknown if these associations are confounded by pleiotropic effects of the instrumental variables on CVD risk factors. We aimed to investigate the effect of iron status on CVD risk controlling for CVD risk factors. METHODS AND RESULTS: Iron biomarker instrumental variables (total...
