3.5 Causal Effects of CMV on CLA
Similarly, we assessed 18 SNPs for CMV but found no evidence of a causal relationship with CLA in the IVW analysis (OR = 0.863, 95% CI = 0.538-1.384, p = 0.540). MR-Egger (OR = 5.694, 95% CI = 0.694-46.740, p = 0.125) and weighted median analyses (OR = 0.800, 95% CI = 0.429-1.493, p = 0.483) also did not yield statistically significant results (p > 0.05) (Figure. 2). Tests for horizontal pleiotropy (MR-Egger intercept = -0.336, p = 0.091) and heterogeneity(p = 0.314) were consistent with these findings. (Figure. 3 g).
