Abstract excerpt
Background: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a complex condition with a significant genetic component. This study explored circulating proteins as potential genetic drug targets or biomarkers to prevent AS, addressing the need for innovative and safe treatments. Methods: We analyzed extensive data from protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs) with up to 1,949 instrumental variables (IVs) and selected the top...
