Abstract:Background
Epidemiological evidence links inflammation to the etiology and pathophysiology of asthma. To assess the causal relationship between circulating inflammation-related proteins and asthma, we performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.
Methods
Protein quantitative trait locis (pQTLs) were derived from twelve genome-wide association studies (GWASs) cohorts on the circulating inflammation-related proteome. Genetic associations with asthma were obtained from a large-scale GWAS, categori… Show more
