Abstract:Background
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and interstitial lung disease (ILD) are often associated with clinical practice, and their co-pathogenesis and clinical features have been reported. However, genetic causality between SLE and ILD remains unclear.
Methods
We searched public genome-wide association study (GWAS) databases for SLE and ILD data, and appropriate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected as instrumental variables (IVs). Inverse-variance weighting (IVW) was used as the main an… Show more
