The main analysis was performed by using the summary genetic data from two large consortium cohorts. Three MR approaches were used to explore MR estimates of waist circumference for DVT (inverse‐variance weighted [IVW] approach, weighted median method and MR‐Egger method). A total of 224 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified associated with the level of waist circumference at statistical significance (P < 5&ast;10− 8; linkage disequilibrium r2 < 0.1).Results: The result of IVW indicated the positive association between waist circumference and the risk of DVT (OR 1.012, 95% CI 1.009– 1.014, P 7.627E-17). The other two methods were observed with consistent result. MR-Egger regression analysis indicated that no evidence for the presence of directional horizontal pleiotropy.
