Exploring the Link Between Diabetes, Herpes Zoster, and Post-Herpetic Neuralgia: Insights From Mendelian Randomization
Our research reveals a causal link between genetically determined T1D and increased VZV-IgG levels. Additionally, genetically predicted T2D and a family history of DM increase the risk of PHN. These discoveries deepen our comprehension of the underlying causes of HZ and PHN.
