Examination of the causal role of immune cells in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by a bidirectional Mendelian randomization study

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a globally widespread disease. Recent investigations have highlighted a close association between immunity and NAFLD, but the causality between them has not been thoroughly examined.
