Causal links between gut microbiomes, cytokines and risk of different subtypes of epilepsy: a Mendelian randomization study

ObjectiveRecent research suggests a potential link between the gut microbiome (GM) and epilepsy. We undertook a Mendelian randomization (MR) study to determine the possible causal influence of GM on epilepsy and its various subtypes, and explore whether cytokines act as mediators.MethodsWe utilized...
