Matrix Metalloproteinases in Relation to Bone Mineral Density: A Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study
Background: We aimed at investigating causal associations between matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and bone mineral density (BMD) by the Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.Methods: From genome-wide association studies of European ancestry, we selected instrumental variables for MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-...
