Deskripsi
Circulating lipids can influence immune cell function, which could have implications for inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Here, the authors use Mendelian randomization to identify genes whose expression is influenced by triglyceride levels in blood, implicating genes involved in lipid metabolism and allergic response.
