Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are small chronic brain hemorrhages that can be linked to cognitive decline and stroke risk. Understanding the underlying genetic and proteomic mechanisms can enhance therapeutic interventions. This study aimed to explore the relationship between circulating proteins (cis-pQTLs) and CMBs using Mendelian randomization (MR) and colocalization analysis, along with...
