Causal Association of Rheumatoid Arthritis With Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes: Genetic Evidence From Mendelian Randomization

Although the association of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to multiple adverse pregnancy outcomes has been well-studied, the association between serum antibody levels in patients with RA and multiple adverse pregnancy outcomes has not been conclusively demonstrated. Here, we comprehensively assessed the causal impact of RA, serologic antibody-positive RA (pRA), and serologic antibody-negative RA (nRA) on the risk of 14 adverse pregnancy outcomes.
