Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The causal relationship between Autoimmune Diseases (ADs) and Hearing Loss (HL) remains unclear. This study investigates whether genetic predispositions associated with ADs contribute to HL risk. METHODS: Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis was conducted to explore the causal effects of ADs on HL. SNPs from Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) were used as instrumental variables for ADs, including...
