Mendelian randomization analyses support causal relationships between blood metabolites and the gut microbiome

2020-07-01

Abstract excerpt

The gut microbiome has been implicated in a variety of physiological states, but controversy over causality remains unresolved. Here, we performed bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses on 3,432 Chinese individuals with whole genome, whole metagenome, anthropometric, and blood metabolic trait data. We identified 58 causal relationships between the gut microbiome and blood metabolites, and replicated 4...
