Abstract excerpt
Neonatal bacterial sepsis (NBS) remains a major global burden. Although immune dysfunction is central to its pathogenesis, the causal contribution of specific immune cell phenotypes and their upstream genetic regulation is unclear. This study aimed to test whether genetically predicted gene expression influences NBS risk through immune cell traits using an integrative two-step Mendelian randomization (MR)...
