Associations between genetically predicted iron status and cardiovascular disease risk: A Mendelian randomization study
2024-02-06
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Mendelian randomization (MR) studies suggest a causal effect of iron (Fe) status on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, but it is unknown if these associations are confounded by pleiotropic effects of the instrumental variables (IV) on CVD risk factors. We aimed to investigate the effect of Fe status on CVD risk controlling for CVD risk factors. <h4>Methods</h4> Fe biomarker IVs (total Fe bindin...
