One SD increase of genetically predicted fetuin-A was associated with decreased risk of myocardial infarction in the main IVW-MRE analysis (OR = 0.92, 95% CI 0.89–0.95, P =  < 0.01), but this association could not be substantiated in the MR sensitivity analyses (Fig. 1a, Online Table 2). Here, AHSG is linked to myocardial infarction.
