FNBP1 and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: Cell-type-specific MR analyses, PPI, and druggable analyses further nominated the key brain cell type (astrocytes), potential interaction with known causative genes (SQSTM1 and PFN1), and promising druggability for FNBP1 in ALS.<h4>Conclusions</h4>This multi-omics MR study identified causal associations between the regulation of four autophagy-related genes and ALS risk, shedding light on autophagy-mediated mechanisms and offering early evidence of novel therapeutic targets for ALS.
