Associations of the circulating levels of cytokines with risk of systemic sclerosis: a bidirectional Mendelian randomized study

ObjectiveSystemic sclerosis(SSc) remains unclear, studies suggest that inflammation may be linked to its pathogenesis. Hence, we conducted a bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to evaluate the association between cytokine and growth factor cycling levels and the risk of SSc onset.Met...
