The MR results at both discovery and validation stages supported the causality (IVW-P < 0.00045) between plasma levels of 4 SRPs (C3b, CTNNB1, CCL1, and CCL3L1) and the risk of AMD and supported potential causality (IVW-P < 0.05) between other 10 SRPs and risk of AMD. The gene discussed is CCL1; the disease is age-related macular degeneration.
