DOI: 10.1002/jmv.28008
Abstract: Several traditional observational studies suggested an association between COVID‐19 and leukocyte telomere length (LTL), a biomarker for biological age. However, whether there was a causal association between them remained unclear. We aimed to investigate whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00394-019-01990-x
Abstract: Background Vitamin D deficiency is associated with glycemic dysregulation in many observational studies. However, the causality between them has not been fully established, especially in Asian origin. We used bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ageing/afac256
Abstract: BACKGROUND Frailty is strongly associated with cardiometabolic diseases in observational studies. However, whether the observed association reflects causality requires clarification. We performed a bidirectional Mendelian randomisation (MR) study to assess the causal relationship of frailty,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2022/8689777
Abstract: Background Vitamin D deficiency is common in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Observational studies have reported that it is associated with SLE. In this bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) study, we explored the genetic association… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.922382
Abstract: Background: The association between educational attainment (EA) and offspring birth weight (BW) has been reported by several traditional epidemiological studies. However, evidence for this association tends to be mixed and confounded. This study aimed to… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.973161
Abstract: Aim This study aimed to evaluate the association between thyroid neoplasms (TN) and the risk of developing breast neoplasms (BN) by assessing data on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) obtained from the Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (DKFZ) and… read more here.
