Exploring the Causal Relationship and Molecular Mechanisms Between Fasting Insulin and Androgenetic Alopecia: A Mendelian Randomization Study with Bioinformatics Analysis
By using MR analysis, this study verified the possible causative connection between FIns and AGA by MR analysis. The core genes EIF2B4 and NRBP1, along with biological processes such as glycosylation and amino acid metabolism, may serve as crucial links.
