Mechanistic description

The question is likely underpowered or misleading unless analyses preserve the key strata: VEGF, GWAS, VEGF-. Averaging across these strata could convert a causal subpopulation effect into a weak association.

Mechanism / pathway

GWAS
→
neurodegeneration

Evidence for (1)

The open question explicitly depends on cell-type, region, or molecular-state resolution.

Evidence against (1)

Stratified effects may reflect sampling or annotation artifacts rather than mechanism.
