From: Mendelian randomization provides support for obesity as a risk factor for meningioma
Effects of genetic instruments on obesity-related traits and meningioma risk. Shown are the results for (a) BMI, (b) BMR, (c) body fat percentage, (d) DBP, (e) fasting glucose, (f) HDL, (g) LDL, (h) SBP, (i) total cholesterol, (j) triglycerides and (k) waist circumference. For each SNP, the effect for the obesity-related trait is plotted against the effect for meningioma risk. Dashed lines represent GSMR estimates. Error bars represent one standard deviation. BMI: body mass index; BMR; basal metabolic rate; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; GSMR: Generalised Summary-data-based Mendelian Randomisation; HDL: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; SNP: single nucleotide polymorphism.
