Abstract excerpt
The association between viral infections and subacute thyroiditis (SAT) has been recognized, yet whether a genetic causal relationship exists between them remains unclear. To address this, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study to investigate this relationship. Genetic instruments for exposure to common viruses were derived from published genome-wide association study summary statistics....
