Women's reproductive traits and cerebral small-vessel disease: A two-sample Mendelian randomization study

Future studies are warranted to investigate specific estrogen-related physiological changes in women, which may inform current researchers on the causal mechanisms involved in cerebral small-vessel disease progression.PMID:37064189 | PMC:PMC10098092 | DOI:10.3389/fneur.2023.1064081
