Abstract excerpt
This study aims to explore the causal links between cytokines and four male reproductive disorders, namely abnormal spermatozoa (AS), male infertility, erectile dysfunction (ED), and hyperplasia of prostate (HP), employing a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. Genetic associations with male reproductive diseases were derived from the IEU OpenGWAS project, with cytokine data from two GWASs focused on...
