Circulating inflammatory cytokines and the risk of myasthenia gravis: a bidirectional Mendelian randomization study

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder of the neuromuscular junction. Increasing evidence has suggested inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of MG, but whether it is the cause or a downstream effect remains unclear. In this study, a two-sample Mendelian randomization (TSMR) analysis was performed to explore the causal relationship between 91 circulating inflammatory cytokines and MG....
