Vitamin D and Risk of Multiple Sclerosis: A Mendelian Randomization Study.

Vitamin D and Risk of Multiple Sclerosis: A Mendelian Randomization Study.

<h4>Background</h4>Observational studies have demonstrated an association between decreased vitamin D level and risk of multiple sclerosis (MS); however, it remains unclear whether this relationship is causal. We undertook a Mendelian randomization (MR) study to evaluate whether genetica...
