Declarations
:
: This study was based entirely on publicly available summary statistics from previously conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS). All the original studies had obtained ethical approval from their respective institutional review boards, and participants had provided written informed consent. Since no new individual-level data or personal identifiers were collected or processed in this analysis, additional ethical approval was not required for this Mendelian randomization study. Because this work used aggregated, de-identified GWAS summary data, no new recruitment of human participants took place. Therefore, informed consent to participate does not apply to this study.
: The manuscript does not include any information that could identify an individual participant.
: The authors declare no competing interests.
