Plasma lipid levels and risk of primary open angle glaucoma: a genetic study using Mendelian randomization

Abstract Background The causal effects of plasma lipid concentrations and the risk of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) are still unclear. Thus, the purpose of this study was to identify, applying a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis, whether plasma lipid concentrations are causally a...
