Xu Aochen, Yuan Jiabin
Abstract excerpt
This study examined whether circulating lipid traits and lipid-lowering drug targets are causally associated with intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) using a Mendelian randomization (MR) framework. We analyzed summary-level data from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) covering apolipoproteins, lipid parameters, and IVDD. Univariable analysis revealed that inherently elevated high-density lipoprotein...
