The Mediation of Circulating Inflammatory Proteins in the Causal Pathway from Immune Cells to COPD by Yan K, Wang Y, Xin P

“…Subsequently, sensitivity analyses were conducted, employing Cochran’s Q test to assess heterogeneity, MR-PRESSO and MR-Egger tests to assess pleiotropy, and reverse MR and Steiger directionality tests to rule out reverse causality. Lastly, a two-step approach was employed to ascertain the proportion of inflammatory proteins that mediate immune cell-mediated effects in COPD.Results: The combination of the inverse variance weighting method and the Bayesian weighting algorithm identified 30 immune cells that were found to be causally associated with COPD, as well as eight inflammatory proteins that were associated with COPD. …”
