Complex diseases, including ageing, often exhibit sexual dimorphism. These sex differences can obfuscate attribution to causal genes within a target ID campaign. Mendelian randomisation (MR)-inspired analysis provides a natural setting to incorporate X-linked aneuploid populations, resulting in prioritisation of longevity-enhancing drug targets and motivating greater inclusion of said populations in future profiling studies.
包括衰老在内的复杂疾病通常表现出性别二态性。这些性别差异可能会混淆目标识别活动中对因果基因的归因。受孟德尔随机化(MR)启发的分析提供了一个自然的环境来纳入X连锁非整倍体群体,从而确定延长寿命的药物靶点的优先级,并促使在未来的分析研究中更多地纳入这些群体。
