Abstract excerpt
Herpes zoster (HZ) and postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) are more common in immunocompromised individuals. This study aimed to explore potential associations between chronic diseases and HZ and PHN using a 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. Genome-wide significant (P < 5 × 10-8) and independent (r2 <0.001) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from published genome-wide association studies consortia were...
