Causal effects of the gut microbiome on COVID-19 susceptibility and severity: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study

BackgroundThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused a global pandemic, with potential severity. We aimed to investigate whether genetically predicted gut microbiome is associated with susceptibility and severity of COVID-19 risk. MethodsMendelian randomization (MR) analysis of two sets with dif...
