Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of gout. However, the causal nature of their associations remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the potential causal effects of MMPs on gout. METHODS: The study was performed using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses with publicly available genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics of ten MMP...
