Ranking of most likely causal exposures amongst major lipoproteins for peripheral artery disease and coronary artery disease prioritized using multivariable Mendelian randomization in the Mendelian randomization Bayesian Model Averaging (MR-BMA) framework. False discovery rate (FDR) corrected p-values are derived in an empirical permutation procedure. LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, ApoA1: apolipoprotein A1, ApoB: apolipoprotein B.
