Causality of telomere length associated with calcific aortic valvular stenosis: A Mendelian randomization study

BackgroundObservational studies have shown that calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) is associated with a shorter telomere length (TL). However, the results of observational studies are often influenced by confounding factors and reverse causal associations; it is unclear whether there is a causal...
