Abstract excerpt
Despite previous observational studies suggesting that malnutrition could be involved in venous thromboembolism (VTE), definitive causality still lacks high-quality research evidence. This study aims to explore the genetic causal association between malnutrition and VTE. The study was performed using summary statistics from genome-wide association studies for VTE (cases = 23 367; controls = 430 366). SNP...
