Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To investigate the causal relationship between mitochondrial genes and the pathogenesis of carotid plaque (CP), a multiomics-integrated Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed in this study. METHODS: Leveraging data from the McRae study, UK Biobank, eQTLGen Consortium, and decode database, we extracted mitochondrial gene QTLs at methylation, gene expression, and protein abundance levels as...
