Genetic causal association between varicella-zoster virus infection and psychiatric disorders: A 2-sample Mendelian randomization study

To gain a more comprehensive understanding of this association and its underlying mechanisms, additional research is needed. Such investigations are pivotal in identifying effective interventions for promoting BD prevention.PMID:38428645 | DOI:10.1016/j.bbr.2024.114927
