Ep 50. Modifiable risk factors and therapeutic targets in polymyalgia rheumatica

British Society for Rheumatology Episode 50

How can we identify modifiable risk factors and new therapeutic targets in polymyalgia rheumatica?

In this episode, recorded live at BSR25, Prof Ernest Choy and Dr Steven Zhao discuss Steven's genome-wide meta-analysis and Mendelian randomisation study. They cover the key findings, which include some novel loci and potential therapeutic targets for PMR, as well as the hallmarks of a good Mendelian randomisation study.
