Abstract:Objective: The cathepsin present in lysosomal cells may be closely related to bone, muscle & joint diseases (BMJD)including osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, but its specific mechanism of action still needs further research and exploration. The aim of this study is to use a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) comprehensive analysis to explore the causal relationship between cathepsin and the risk of BMJD.
Method: Based on the published genetic data, this study used a two-sample Mendelian randomization (… Show more
