Assessing the causal relationship between obesity and venous thromboembolism through a Mendelian Randomization study
Meta-analysisN=60,139Sara Lindström et al.(2017)· Human Genetics

Mendelian Randomization study examining the causal relationship between obesity (BMI) and venous thromboembolism using 95 BMI-associated SNPs in 7,507 VTE cases and 52,632 European ancestry controls. FTO rs1558902 showed the strongest individual association with VTE (OR 1.07, P = 0.005), and genetically predicted high BMI was significantly associated with increased VTE risk (OR 1.59 per SD increase in BMI, P = 5.8 × 10^-6), providing evidence for a causal relationship between obesity and VTE.
