Abstract excerpt
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease that affects the central nervous system, characterized by myelin damage caused by immune dysfunction and genetic factors. Nevertheless, the role of peripheral blood and immune cells in the development of MS remains poorly defined. We employed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach, analyzing data from 91 blood cell perturbation phenotypes and 731...
