Zhuoya Zhang,
Jiale Zhang,
Kaiqi Zhang
et al.

Abstract: BackgroundObservational studies have suggested a potential relationship between birthweight and telomere length. However, the causal link between these two parameters remains undefined. In this study, we use Mendelian Randomization (MR). This method employs genetic variants as instrumental variables, to explore the existence of causal associations and elucidate the causal relationship between birth weight and telomere length.MethodsWe used 35 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as instrumental variables for… Show more
