Causal Impact of Immune Phenotypes on Herpes Zoster and Postherpetic Neuralgia: Insights from Mendelian Randomization Analysis
1 Apr 2025
Abstract excerpt
Background: Previous research has investigated the contribution of immunological cells to both herpes zoster (HZ) and postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). This Mendelian randomization (MR) study seeks to further assess the cause-and-effect connection among 731 immune cell phenotypes and HZ and PHN providing partial causal evidence. Methods: The data for HZ and PHN were sourced from the FinnGen database, and the 731...
