Abstract excerpt
Ceramides (Cer) are bioactive lipids implicated in cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet their subtype-specific causal effects remain unclear. We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using publicly available GWAS summary statistics to investigate the effects of C16:0-ceramide homologs (Cer16:0) and C24:1-ceramide homologs (Cer24:1) on six CVD outcomes. Instrumental variables were rigorously...
