Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to investigate the role of the plasma lipid species in the progression from chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection to cirrhosis. We conducted 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) and genome-wide mediation analyses to explore the causal relationship between CHB and cirrhosis, focusing on lipid species as potential mediators. The inverse variance weighted method was used as the primary analytical...
