Extensive Mendelian randomization study identifies potential causal risk factors for severe COVID-19
Sun et al. perform a two-sample Mendelian randomization study of a large number of traits with the aim of identifying risk factors of severe COVID-19. They show that body mass index-related traits, specific white blood cells, and some circulating proteins are risk factors for the development of seve...
