Identifying genetic determinants of sarcopenia-related traits: a Mendelian randomization study of druggable genes

Our druggable genome-wide MR analysis identifies BORCS7, PM20D1, NUCKS1, and UQCC1 as causally associated with muscle mass and function. These findings offer insights into the genetic basis of sarcopenia, paving the way for these genes to become promising drug targets in mitigating this debilitating condition.
