Can Omega-3 prevent the accidence of stroke: a mendelian randomization study

Hereditas
Background The lipid-lowering effects of Omega-3 fatty acids have been widely reported, yet their impact on ischemic stroke remains controversial. Reports on the protective effects of unsaturated fatty acids, such as Omega-6 and Omega-7, as well as ...

Exploring biomarkers of neurodegeneration in epilepsy: Critical insights

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract The advent of biofluid biomarkers for neurodegenerative disorders has precipitated a surge in recent evidence regarding their role in epilepsy. In this literature review, we examine the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential of several biomarkers, including amyloid‐beta (Aβ) protein, total (t‐tau), phosphorylated tau (p‐tau) protein,

Mendelian randomization studies of risk and protective factors for osteoporosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Frontiers in Endocrinology
BackgroundMendelian randomization is believed to attenuate the biases inherent in observational studies, yet a meta-analysis of Mendelian randomization studies in osteoporosis has not been conducted thus far.

Proteome‐Wide Mendelian Randomization Identifies Candidate Causal Proteins for Cardiovascular Diseases

Advanced Genetics, EarlyView.
Here, causal relations are examined between 2940 plasma proteins and 19 cardiovascular diseases (CVD) using a human genetics‐based method. 218 proteins are found whose blood levels influence CVD risks, with about half being new discoveries and largely confirmed in an independent cohort.
