Causal relationship between circulating glutamine levels and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a two-sample mendelian randomization study
Our study provides novel evidence for a causal relationship between lower circulating glutamine levels and increased risk of IPF. This finding may contribute to the early identification of high-risk individuals for IPF, disease monitoring, and development of targeted therapeutic strategies.
