Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have demonstrated a significant correlation between immune cells and thyroid cancer (TC). Nevertheless, there remains uncertainty regarding whether this association indicates a causal relationship. We performed a bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to explore the causal relationship between 731 immune phenotypes and thyroid cancer. Our primary analytical method was the inverse...
