Abstract excerpt
Observational studies have linked pathological scars to hypertension; however, the causality remains ambiguous. In this study, we aimed to explore this issue using Mendelian randomization (MR). We obtained genome-wide association study data for hypertrophic scar and hypertension from the IEU Open genome-wide association study project [hypertension (containing 9851,867 SNPs, observation group of 124,227, and...
