Causal Relationship Between Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Respiratory Tuberculosis Susceptibility: A Two-Sample Bayesian Weighted Mendelian Randomization Study.

Abstract excerpt

The causal relationship between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and respiratory tuberculosis (TB) remains unclear due to limited evidence from prospective studies. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the causal relationship between COPD and respiratory TB using a two-sample Bayesian weighted Mendelian randomization (BWMR) study. The genetic instrumental variants (IVs) for COPD and respiratory TB...
