Abstract excerpt
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and thyroid dysfunction are prevalent conditions, with observational studies suggesting a possible association. However, the causal relationship remains unclear. This study employed two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to evaluate the bidirectional causal association between AS and thyroid dysfunction using genetic summary data. The inverse variance weighted (IVW) method was the...
