Objectives: Previous studies have revealed a correlation between eosinophils and allergic rhinitis, but the causal relationship has not been fully confirmed. This study aims to evaluate the causal link between blood eosinophils and allergic rhinitis using the Mendelian randomization (MR) method.
Methods: Summary data from the Genome-Wide Association Study Catalog (GWAS) for eosinophil count (exposure variable) and allergic rhinitis (outcome variable) were collected.
