Abstract:OBJECTIVES
The causal association between immune cell traits and aortic aneurysm remains unknown.
METHODS
We performed a bidirectional two-sample mendelian randomization analysis to explore the causality between 731 immune cell characteristics and the risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm and thoracic aortic aneurysms through publicly available genetic data, respectively. To examine heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy, Cochra… Show more
