Abstract excerpt
Background: The role of autoimmune diseases (ADs) in temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) has been emphasized in observational studies. However, whether the causation exists is unclear, and controversy remains about which specific disorder is destructive in TMDs. This Mendelian randomization (MR) study aims to estimate the causal effect of common ADs on TMDs. Methods: Genetic data from published genome-wide...
