Using genetics to detangle the relationships between red cell distribution width and cardiovascular diseases: a unique role for body mass index

OBJECTIVE: Red cell distribution width (RDW) is an enigmatic biomarker associated with the presence and severity of multiple cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). It is unclear whether elevated RDW contributes to, results from, or is pleiotropically related to CVDs. We used contemporary genetic techniques...
