Genetic association and causal inference between lung function and venous thromboembolism

Genetic association and causal inference between lung function and venous thromboembolism

Abstract Background Previous studies have indicated that lower lung function is related to a higher risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, causal inferences may be affected by confounders, coheritability or reverse causality. We aimed to explore the causal association between lung function a...
