Systemic lupus erythematosus and epilepsy: A Mendelian randomization study
The etiology of epilepsy is complex and diverse, including immune factors. Through a Mendelian randomization analysis, we did not find evidence of a genetic causal relationship between systemic lupus erythematosus and epilepsy. However, this does not invalidate epidemiological evidence, and further exploration is needed to investigate factors influencing the relationship between the two.
