Causal association between obstructive sleep apnea and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a Mendelian randomization study

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience
BackgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) had a high prevalence in the population. Whether OSA increases the risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is unknown. Our aim was to clarify this issue using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis in
