Exploring the causal relationship between asthma in the metabolic syndrome: a Mendelian randomization study.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Previous observational studies have indicated a potential association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and asthma, though the causal nature of this connection is still uncertain. Our study used Mendelian randomization (MR) to examine the causal relationship between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components with asthma. METHODS: This study utilized single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to...
