Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with widespread network disruption, but whether specific white-matter structural connectivity (WMSC) phenotypes contribute causally to MS susceptibility remains unclear. METHODS: We performed bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) using genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for 206 tractography-derived WMSC phenotypes (UK Biobank;...
