Genetic Association of Circulating Adipokines with Risk of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study

ConclusionsThe increase in serum adiponectin was associated causally with a decreased risk of developing IPF. There is no evidence to support a causal association between leptin, resistin or MCP-1 with risk of IPF. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings.
