Body mass index and carpal tunnel syndrome: a Mendelian randomization study

2019-11-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> We investigated whether higher body mass index (BMI) may causally increase risk of carpal tunnel syndrome using Mendelian randomization (MR). <h4>Methods</h4> The exposure included genetic instruments comprising independent variants associated with BMI (n=322,154). Associations of these variants with CTS were obtained from a genome-wide association study conducted in UK Biobank (UKB; 12,312 c...
