Abstract excerpt
Hypertrophic scar (HS) results from burns or trauma, causing aesthetic and functional issues. However, observational studies have linked inflammatory cytokines to HS, but the causal pathways involved are unclear. We aimed to determine how circulating inflammatory cytokines contribute to HS formation. Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) was used to identify genetic variants associated with hypertrophic scar in...
