Abstract excerpt
Spinal stenosis is a commonly chronic spinal degenerative disease, which is a major cause of pain and dysfunction in the elderly. Mendelian randomization (MR) has been widely applied to repurpose licensed drugs and identify novel therapeutic targets. Consequently, we intended to identify new therapeutic targets for spinal stenosis and to analyze their possible mechanisms and potential side effects.We conducted...
