Endocannabinoid System Genes in Dementia: A Systematic Mendelian Randomization Study of Functional Variants and Tissue-Specific Expression Across Clinical, Molecular, and Neuroimaging Phenotypes

Sara Javidnia, Ville Karhunen, Benjamin A. R. Woolf…·Sagnik Bhattacharyya

This study uses Mendelian randomization to investigate ECS gene variants and their associations with dementia risk and biomarkers, finding some links but no strong causal evidence.
