Research Article: Mendelian randomization analysis reveals a causal relationship between preterm birth and myopia risk

Date Published: 2024-07-18

Abstract:
Background: Preterm birth has been associated with an increased risk of myopia, but the causal relationship between these two factors remains unclear. Traditional epidemiological studies are limited by confounding factors and reverse causality. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis, utilizing genetic variants as instrumental variables, provides a robust approach to investigate causal relationships. In this study, we aimed to explore the potential causal link between preterm birth and myopia risk using a two-sample MR analysis strategy.
