Abstract excerpt
Objective: This study employed Mendelian Randomization (MR) to investigate the causal relationships among immune cells, COPD, and potential metabolic mediators. Methods: Utilizing summary data from genome-wide association studies, we analyzed 731 immune cell phenotypes, 1,400 plasma metabolites, and COPD. Bidirectional MR analysis was conducted to explore the causal links between immune cells and COPD,...
