Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Smoking is a well-established risk factor for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). However, the molecular pathways underlying this relationship remain poorly understood. This study aimed to identify circulating protein mediators that may explain the association between smoking and AAA. METHODS: We conducted a network Mendelian randomization study using summary-level data from the largest available...
