Research Article: Exploring causal relationships between immune cells and age-related macular degeneration through univariable, bidirectional, and multivariable Mendelian analysis
Introduction:
Objective: This study systematically investigates the causal relationships between 731 immune cell phenotypes and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) using comprehensive Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses. The goal is to identify immune cell factors that contribute to or protect against AMD, thereby clarifying the immunological mechanisms underlying AMD pathophysiology and informing prevention and treatment strategies.
