Thus, we conducted this mendelian randomization analysis (MR) to estimate the causal relationship between PD-1/PD-L1 and 5 specific CHDs (chronic ischemic heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, coronary atherosclerosis, and unstable angina pectoris), complemented by gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) for further validation. The gene discussed is PDCD1; the disease is acute myocardial infarction.
