Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The potential causal relationship between asthma and brain structures remains uncertain. We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization to investigate the causal effects of various asthma phenotypes - unspecified asthma, moderate-to-severe asthma, childhood-onset asthma, and adult-onset asthma (AOA) - on cerebral cortex structure. METHODS: We utilized phenotype data derived from genome-wide...
