Causal Impact of Immune Phenotypes on Herpes Zoster and Postherpetic Neuralgia: Insights from Mendelian Randomization Analysis
This study employs Mendelian randomization analysis to elucidate the complex causal relationships between various immune cell phenotypes and the development of HZ and PHN. The findings provide insights into the immune mechanisms underlying disease progression, advancing our understanding of immune-mediated pathways and their potential implications for future therapeutic strategies.
