Genetically Determined Circulating Saturated and Unsaturated Fatty Acids and the Occurrence and Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-A Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study.

Abstract excerpt

Research on dietary fatty acids (FAs) and lung health has reported skeptical findings. This study aims to examine the causal relationship between circulating FAs and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) onset and exacerbation, using a two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis. Strong and independent genetic variants of FAs were obtained from the UK Biobank of European ancestry. The exposure traits...
