Effect of Genetically Determined BCAA Levels on Cardiovascular Diseases and Their Risk Factors: A Mendelian Randomization Study

Observational studies have demonstrated that serum branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are associated with the risk of various cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and their risk factors. However, the causal effect is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of genetically determined BCAA levels on CVDs and their risk factors using Mendelian randomization (MR).
