Causal relationship between circulating cytokines and the risk of systemic sclerosis: A bidirectional Mendelian-randomization study

2023-12-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objectives: </h4> Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by immune dysfunction, vasculopathy, and fibrosis. While cytokines likely contribute to SSc pathogenesis, it is unclear whether particular cytokines play a causal role. We aimed to investigate potential causal relationships between circulating cytokines and SSc using Mendelian randomization. Methods We conducted a bidirectional...
