Relationship between personality traits and spontaneous coronary artery dissection risk: evidence from Mendelian randomization by Kun Zheng, Kun Zheng, Mengdi Wu, Junhua Wang, Junhua Wang, Jinjin Sun, Yuqian Li, Peng Wang, Zhiyue Zhang, Xiuming Pan, Yifeng Yang, Tianqi Li, Yujie Guo

“…Besides, data regarding SCAD and personality were extracted from expansive genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and rigorous statistical inferences were made using inverse variance weighting (IVW) and ancillary methodologies. Additionally, sensitivity evaluations were performed to bolster statistical assertions.ResultsUnivariate MR analyses indicated heightened neuroticism scores as harbingers of increased SCAD risk [Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.31, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.08–1.60, P = 0.007], while other personality characteristics revealed no causal interplay with SCAD. …”
