Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to investigate the bidirectional causal relationship between celiac disease (CD) and the risk of Alzheimer disease (AD) or frontotemporal dementia (FTD) using Mendelian randomization (MR), in order to clarify prior inconsistent findings. We analyzed summary-level genome-wide association study (GWAS) data for CD, AD, and FTD. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) strongly associated with each...
