Abstract:Background: The current understanding of the relationship between immune cells and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is limited. The purpose of this study was to examine the causal role played by immune cells in MAFLD.
Methods:
To investigate the causal association between immune cells and MAFLD, two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) studies were conducted. Summary statistics were obtained from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of 731 immune traits (4 types and 7 panels) and … Show more
