Causal association between uric acid levels and the risk of aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection: A two-sample Mendelian randomization study

Increasing numbers of studies have sought to uncover the relationship between serum uric acid (UA) levels and the risk of aortic aneurysm (AA) or aortic dissection (AD), but the causality of the associations has not been established yet. To assess this potential relationship, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.
