Abstract
Asthma is a common respiratory disease, possibly caused by autoimmunity. Linoleic acid (LA), the main n–6 (ω-6) PUFA from widely used vegetable oils, is thought to suppress immune responses that might have benefits for asthma. However, this question has not been examined in randomized controlled trials. To obtain unconfounded estimates, we assessed how genetically predicted LA affected asthma using 2-sample Mendelian randomization. We also...
