Complex causal relationships between genetic predictions of 731 immune cell phenotypes and novel coronavirus: A two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis
This study provides compelling evidence for a causal relationship between specific immune cell phenotypes and COVID-19 risk. These findings highlight the potential for targeting these immune cell phenotypes as novel therapeutic targets for COVID-19 treatment and prevention.
