Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Observational studies have suggested that brain imaging-derived phenotypes (IDPs) may serve as specific markers of pain-related phenotypes and severity. However, the shared genetic architecture between pain and brain IDPs and their potential causal relationships remains unclear. METHODS: We applied linkage disequilibrium score regression and Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses to uncover genetic...
