Mendelian Randomization Analysis of the Causal Link Between Rheumatoid Arthritis and Interstitial Lung Disease
This MR study provides robust genetic evidence supporting a potential causal relationship between RA and increased risk of ILD. These findings highlight the need for increased clinical vigilance, including early respiratory screening and monitoring in RA patients-particularly those at high risk-to facilitate timely detection and management of ILD.
