Abstract excerpt
Based on a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis of 91 blood cell phenotypes and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), this study provides genetic evidence for a complex causal interplay between specific immune cell functions and SLE susceptibility. Forward MR analysis identified 4 perturbation responses - involving eosinophils (response to colchicine), neutrophils (response to potassium...
