Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: This study investigates the association between C-reactive protein (CRP) and ischemic stroke caused by large artery atherosclerosis (LAA). METHODS: Five Mendelian Randomization (MR) methodologies were used for two-sample analyses: Inverse Variance Weighting (IVW), MR-Egger regression, Weighted Median (WM), Simple Mode, and Weighted Mode. CRP exposure data were obtained from aggregated summary...
