Genetic prediction of blood cell reactivity and its potential causal influence on bone continuity and density disorders

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We applied Mendelian randomization to explore causal links between blood cell traits and skeletal disorders. Using genetic instruments from large‐scale summary statistics, we assessed effects on bone continuity, density, and structural integrity. Sensitivity and reverse analyses confirmed robust associations, highlighting potential shared biological ...
