Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The causal association between blood uric acid and preeclampsia (Preeclampsia, PE) has not been conclusively established based on the literature reviewed to date. This bi-directional Mendelian randomization study aimed to investigate the bi-directional causal association between blood uric acid concentration and PE at different genetic levels. METHODS: Pooled data on preeclampsia (sample size =...
