We further performed 2-sample Mendelian randomization analyses, associating ancestry-specific Lp(a)-associated instrumental variants derived from CKB or from published data in European individuals with risk of myocardial infarction (n=17 091), ischemic stroke (IS [n=29 233]) and its subtypes, or intracerebral hemorrhage (n=5845) in East Asian and European individuals using available data from CKB and genome-wide association analysis consortia. The gene discussed is CKB; the disease is myocardial infarction.
