From: Causal relationship between immune cells and telomere length: mendelian randomization analysis
Forest plot of MR analysis and BWMR analysis. A: MR analysis (immune cells-telomere length). B: BWMR analysis (immune cells-telomere length). After two-sample MR analysis combined with BWMR analysis, a total of 17 immune cells affecting telomere length were obtained. Seven immune cells delayed telomere shortening, while the other ten immune cells promoted telomere length shortening. C: MR analysis (telomere length -immune cells). D: BWMR analysis (telomere length-immune cells). Telomeres have the potential to promote the expression of two types of immune cells, meanwhile, the expression of two types of immune cells may be suppressed. MR: mendelian randomization. BWMR: Bayesian weighted mendelian randomization
