Abstract excerpt
Background/Objectives: Autophagy plays a role in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pathogenesis. Nevertheless, the specific genetic determinants underpinning this process remain poorly characterized. Summary data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR) analysis was therefore utilized to pinpoint autophagy-related genes associated with SLE risk. Methods: We analyzed 700 autophagy-related genes, integrating...
