Mendelian randomization analysis of blood uric acid and risk of preeclampsia: based on GWAS and eQTL data

Background The causal association between blood uric acid and preeclampsia (Preeclampsia, PE) has not been conclusively established based on the literature reviewed to date. This bi-directional Mendelian randomization study aimed to investigate the bi-directional causal association between blood uric acid concentration and PE at different genetic levels.
