Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study investigates the causal role of metabolites mediating immune cells in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) through a Mendelian randomization (MR) study. METHODS: The two-sample and two-step MR methods were used for the current analysis: (1) causal effects of immune cells on RA and AS; (2) mediation effects of metabolites. Inverse variance weighted (IVW) is the main...
