Assessing the causal relationships between gout and hypertension: a bidirectional Mendelian randomisation study with coarsened exposures
Abstract Objectives Observational studies have demonstrated associations between gout and hypertension, but whether they are causal remains unclear. Our work aims to assess the causal relationship between gout and hypertension. Methods We obtained genetic information from the Taiwan Biobank, includi...
