Abstract:This study aimed to evaluate whether there is a causal relationship between autoimmune thyroid disorders (AITDs) and telomere length (TL) in the European population and whether there is reverse causality. In this study, Mendelian randomization (MR) and colocalization analysis were conducted to assess the potential causal relationship between AITDs and TL using summary statistics from large‐scale genome‐wide association studies, followed by analysis of the relationship between TL and thyroid stimulating hormone… Show more
