Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The etiology of prostate cancer remained elusive, whether plasma protein levels are associated with prostate cancer is still unknown. METHODS: We have performed Mendelian randomization analyses to calculate the causal effects of plasma proteins on the risk of prostate cancer in the PRACTICAL consortium dataset using cis-protein quantitative trait loci (cis-pQTL) variants as instrumental variables for...
