Association between hypothyroidism and nephrotic syndrome: a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis by Can Liu, Jiaxuan Shen, Zhaoran Ding, Shuwen Duan, Enlai Dai

“…Background There is a close clinical association between hypothyroidism and nephrotic syndrome (NS) was close, but whether there is genetic causality between the two is not known.Objective Using pooled data from a genome-wide association study (GWAS), the association between hypothyroidism and NS was explored via Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.Methods Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with hypothyroidism (or NS) were screened as genetic instrumental variables (IVs) from pooled GWAS data, and inverse-variance weighting (IVW) was used for the main analysis to estimate causal effects, with MR-Egger, weighted median, and weighted mode used as complementary methods. …”
