MR and MVMR analyses progressed mainly using inverse variance weighted (IVW), weighted median (WM), and MR-Egger regression methods, which were applied to the genetic instrumental variables (IVs) of IL-17A/IL-17 RA, IL-17C/IL-17 RC, and IL-17D/IL-17RD and RA. Here, IL17A is linked to rheumatoid arthritis.
