Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The intricate interplay between genetics and immunology often dictates the host's susceptibility to various diseases. This study explored the genetic causal relationship between natural killer (NK) cell-related traits and the risk of infection. METHODS: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with NK cell-related traits were selected as instrumental variables to estimate their...
