A Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study of Causal Relationships Between Migraine and White-Matter Structural Connectivity by Tong D, Zhang X, Xiao Z, Taothong S, Teeravarunyou P, Wu W, Wu S, Chen N, Tao S, Zhou J, Song Q, Liang F, Li Z

“…Based on instrumental variables (IVs) selected from the GWAS summary statistics, the bidirectional two-sample MR analyses were conducted to infer bidirectional causal associations between migraine and WM structural connectivity. The inverse variance-weighted (IVW) method served as the primary approach for analyzing causality.Results: In the forward MR analysis, it was found that migraine had a significant effect on right hemisphere somatomotor network to amygdala WM structural connectivity (IVW-derived β = 0.11, 95% CI = [0.04, 0.17], p = 1.02e-03, FDR p = 0.04). …”
