Exploring the possible causal role of the immune response to varicella-zoster virus on multiple traits: a phenome-wide Mendelian randomization study
2022-07-31
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> The immune response to infections could be largely driven by the individuals genes, especially in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region. Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is a highly communicable pathogen. In addition to infection, the re-activations of VZV can be a potential causal factor for multiple traits. Identification of VZV immune response-related health conditions can therefor...
