Little is known regarding the possible causal effects of COVID-19 on macro- micro-structures human brain. To determine links between susceptibility, hospitalization, severity brain imaging-derived phenotypes (IDPs). Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were performed investigate effect three exposures (SARS-CoV-2 infection, hospitalized COVID-19, critical COVID-19) structure employing summary datasets genome-wide association studies. In terms cortical phenotypes, hospitalization due was associated with decrease in surface area (SA) cortex (β= -624.77, 95% CI: -1227.88 -21.66, p = 0.042). At regional level, SARS-CoV-2 infection found have nominally thickness (TH) postcentral region -0.004, -0.007 -0.001, 0.01), as well eight other IDPs.

Background In recent times, reports have emerged suggesting that a variety of autoimmune disorders may arise after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. However, causality and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Methods We collected summary statistics COVID-19 vaccination 31 diseases from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) as exposure outcome, respectively. Random-effects inverse variance weighting (IVW), MR Egger, weighted median, simple mode, mode were used analytical methods through Mendelian randomization (MR), heterogeneity sensitivity analysis performed.

Abstract Mendelian randomization (MR) is a powerful approach for assessing the causal effect of putative risk factors on an outcome, using genetic variants as instrumental variables. The methodology and application developed in framework MR have been dramatically improved, taking advantage many public genome‐wide association study (GWAS) data. availability summary‐level data allowed to perform numerous studies especially complex diseases, pinpointing modifiable exposures causally related increased or decreased disease risk.
