Lowering of circulating sclerostin may increase risk of atherosclerosis and its risk factors: evidence from a genome-wide association meta-analysis followed by Mendelian randomization
2022-06-16
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Sclerostin inhibition is a new therapeutic approach for increasing bone mineral density (BMD) but its cardiovascular safety is unclear. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of circulating sclerostin in 33,961 Europeans followed by Mendelian randomization (MR) to estimate the causal effects of sclerostin on 15 atherosclerosis-related diseases and risk factors. GWAS met...
