Our aim was to assess the causal link between plasma Hcy level and cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative diseases through a Mendelian randomization (MR) study.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods<\/jats:bold>: A two-sample MR study was performed to infer the causal link. We extracted the genetic variants (SNPs) associated with plasma Hcy level from a large genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis. The main MR analysis was performed using the inverse variance-weighted method. Additional analyses were further performed using MR-Egger intercept and Cochran\u2019s Q statistic to detect the heterogeneity or pleiotropy of our findings.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>: Thirteen Hcy-associated SNPs were selected as instrumental variables. The results showed evidence of a causal link between plasma Hcy level and ischemic stroke (IS) caused by small artery occlusion (SAS, OR = 1.329, 95% CI 1.047\u20131.612, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.048). Meanwhile, there was no evidence of association between plasma Hcy level and other types of IS, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or neurodegenerative disease. The MR-Egger intercept test indicated no evidence of directional pleiotropy. Results of additional MR analysis indicated that blood pressure (BP) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) serve as influencers in the association.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold>: The MR study found a little causal link between plasma Hcy level and SAS. The link is likely to be influenced by other risk factors like BP and T2DM.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fgene.2021.653032","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,1]],"date-time":"2021-04-01T05:16:56Z","timestamp":1617254216000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["A Mendelian Randomization Study of Plasma Homocysteine Levels and Cerebrovascular and Neurodegenerative Diseases"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Weishi","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luyang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shen","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chen","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Tong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hui","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zongping","family":"Xia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuming","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"35","DOI":"10.1161\/01.STR.24.1.35","article-title":"Classification of subtype of acute ischemic stroke.
