Exploration of the causal effects of leukocyte telomere length and four gastrointestinal diseases: a two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization study

Abstract Background To explore the underlying causality between leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and four gastrointestinal diseases, we designed a two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization study. Methods Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) was used to explore genetic causality between LTL...
