Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the potential causal relationship, shared genomic loci, as well as potential molecular pathways and tissue-specific expression patterns between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and the risk of hospitalized/severe 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19). METHODS: We employed linkage disequilibrium score regression and bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis...
