Causal associations between insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 to -7 and osteoporosis: A two-sample Mendelian randomization study.

Abstract excerpt

Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) are important regulatory factors of bone metabolism. However, the association between IGFBPs and osteoporosis remains a subject of contention in observational studies. We conducted a 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study to assess the causal relationship between IGFBP 1-7 and osteoporosis using publicly available genome-wide association study summary...
