Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mitochondria is essential for cellular energy production, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes essential proteins for mitochondrial function. Although several studies have explored the association between changes in mtDNA copy number (mtDNA-CN) and risk of mental disorders, the results remain debated. This study used a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR)...
