Abstract excerpt
There is an urgent need to pinpoint novel targets for drug discovery in the context of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the proteome represents a significant pool of potential therapeutic targets. To address this, we performed proteome-wide analyses using Mendelian randomization (MR) and colocalization techniques to uncover potential targets for CKD. We extracted summary-level data from the ARIC study, focusing...
