Abstract excerpt
Muscular dystrophies (MDs) are inherited neuromuscular disorders characterized by progressive muscle degeneration. Although their genetic causes are well known, the contribution of autoimmune diseases to MD risk remains unclear. To address this gap, we performed a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (2SMR) analysis to investigate the potential causal relationship between genetic liability to 21...
