Abstract excerpt
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been increasingly recognized as potential contributors or mediators in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Nevertheless, the relationships among MMPs and the risk of DR have not been definitively elucidated and still require further investigation. The bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were implemented to evaluate the causal effect of...
