Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) remain a major global cause of morbidity, yet the causal role of circulating plasma proteins in RTI susceptibility is unclear. We aimed to systematically identify plasma proteins that causally influence the risk of upper and lower respiratory tract infections (URTIs, LRTIs) using a proteome-wide Mendelian randomization (MR) framework. METHODS: We performed...
