Abstract excerpt
Circulating inflammatory proteins (CIPs) have been implicated in the progression of osteomyelitis (OM); however, whether these proteins play a causal role or are merely a consequence remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the causal relationships between CIPs and OM using a bidirectional 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. MR analyses were performed using genome-wide association study summary...
