The relationship between blood pressure and ALS. a The main results of the effects of 1 genetically predicted SD unit increase in blood pressure on ALS via MR approaches. b Scatter plot of the SNP effects on DBP versus ALS, with the slope of each line corresponding to the estimated MR effect per method. c Scatter plot of the SNP effects on SBP versus ALS, with the slope of each line corresponding to the estimated MR effect per method. OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; MR, Mendelian randomization; SNP, single-nucleotide polymorphism; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure; ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
