IL7 and hypothyroidism: We found evidence of a causal effect of IL-7 and macrophage inflammatory protein-1β (MIP-1β) on the risk of hypothyroidism, and a causal effect of hypothyroidism on several cytokines, including granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), IL-13, IL-16, IL-2rα, IL-6, IL-7, IL-9, interferon-γ-inducible protein 10 (IP10), monokine induced by interferon (IFN)-γ (MIG), macrophage inflammatory protein-1β (MIP-1β), stem cell growth factors-β (SCGF-β), stromal cell derived factor-1α (SDF-1α), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α).
