Unpicking the Gordian knot: Mendelian randomization to elucidate the risk factors for infectious diseases, using EBV as a model pathogen

2022-02-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Why particular individuals are more at risk of a given infectious disease than others has been a topic of interest for scientists, clinicians, and polymaths for millennia. Complex webs of factors-sociodemographic, clinical, genetic, environmental-intersect, rendering causality difficult to decipher. We aimed to demonstrate the ability of Mendelian Randomization (MR) to overcome the issues posed...
