Cardiometabolic risks of SARS-CoV-2 hospitalization using Mendelian Randomization

Abstract Many cardiometabolic conditions have demonstrated associative evidence with COVID-19 hospitalization risk. However, the observational designs of the studies in which these associations are observed preclude causal inferences of hospitalization risk. Mendelian Randomization (MR) is an altern...
