Genetic association between immune-mediated inflammatory diseases and peripheral artery disease: a Mendelian randomization study.

ABSTRACT: Several observational studies have revealed that immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) are associated with an increased risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, the causal association remains to be determined. To corroborate previous research, we conducted Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis with the aim of clarifying the associations of various IMIDs with PAD. two-sample MR analysis was conducted to investigate the potential causal association between eight common IMIDs (including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), ankylosing spondylitis(AS), psoriasis(PSO), multiple sclerosis(MS), and hashimoto thyroiditis(HT)) and PAD. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) was used to identify genetic variants a
