Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to systematically evaluate the potential causal relationship between plasma and cerebrospinal fluid protein levels and sepsis risk through the integration of Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis, external validation, and Bayesian colocalization analysis. It further sought to explore the genetic mechanisms of key proteins and their potential as drug targets. We performed two-sample MR to screen...
