The Causal Effect of Iron Traits on Risk of Hypertrophic Scarring: A Two‐Sample Mendelian Randomization Study
The two-sample MR study did not find compelling evidence for causal associations between most iron traits and HTS risk. However, the IVW method pointed to a potential protective effect of elevated TFS levels on HTS risk. Further investigation is necessary to explore the role of iron metabolism in scarring.
