People with COVID-19 had poorer general cognitive functioning compared to people without COVID-19. The causal link between COVID-19 and cognitive impairment is still unknown....
Mendelian randomization (MR) is a statistical approach based on genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to construct instrumental variables (IVs) and can effectively bring down the confounding bias of ...
There was consistent evidence that cognitive performance was causally associated with COVID-19; this suggests that people with better cognitive performance are less likely to be infected with COVID-19...
Our study provided credible evidence that cognitive performance has an impact on COVID-19. Future research should focus on long-term impact of cognitive performance on COVID-19....
There is growing evidence for a relationship between gut microbiota and hepatic encephalopathy (HE). However, the causal nature of the relationship between gut microbiota and HE has not been thoroughl...
This study utilized the large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) summary statistics to evaluate the causal association between gut microbiota and HE risk. Specifically, two-sample Mendelian ...
The IVW method revealed that the genus Bifidobacterium (OR = 0.363, 95% CI: 0.139-0.943, P = 0.037), the family Bifidobacteriaceae (OR = 0.359, 95% CI: 0.133-0.950, P = 0.039), and the order Bifidobac...
Our MR study demonstrated a potential causal association between Bifidobacterium, Bifidobacteriaceae, and Bifidobacteriales and HE. This finding may provide new therapeutic targets for patients at ris...
According to the latest cancer research data, there are a significant number of new cancer cases and a substantial mortality rate each year. Although a substantial number of clinical patients are trea...
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that is characterized by multiorgan dysfunction and caused by dysregulated cytokine networks, which are closely associated with sepsis progression and outcomes. ...
Data related to 35 circulating cytokines in 31,112 individuals (including 11,643 patients with sepsis) were included in genome-wide association studies (GWASs) from the UK Biobank and FinnGen consorti...
A total of 35 inflammatory cytokine genes were identified in the GWASs, and 11 cytokines, including Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra), macrophage inflammatory protein 1 (MIP1α), IL-16, et al....
This comprehensive MR analysis provides insights into the potential causal mechanisms that link key cytokines, particularly MIP1α, with risk of sepsis, and the findings suggest that targeting MIP1α ma...
Severe malaria remains a deadly disease for many young children in low- and middle-income countries. Levels of interleukin (IL)-6 have been shown to identify cases of severe malaria and associate with...
A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; rs2228145) in the IL-6 receptor was chosen as a genetic variant that is known to alter IL-6 signaling. We tested this, then took this forward as an instrument to...
In MR analyses using rs2228145, we did not identify an effect of decreased IL-6 signaling on severe malaria (odds ratio 1.14, 95% confidence interval 0.56-2.34, P = 0.713). The estimates of the associ...
These analyses do not support a causal role for IL-6 signaling in the development of severe malaria. This result suggests IL-6 may not be causal for severe outcomes in malaria, and that therapeutic ma...
This study aimed at exploring the potential causal effects of leisure sedentary behavior (LSB) on common types of arthritis....
Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR), including both univariable MR (UVMR) and multivariable MR (MVMR) analysis, was performed to explore the effects of LSB on the risk of several common types of a...
UVMR results provided evidence for the causal relationship of time spent on watching TV with overall OA [odds ratio (OR) = 1.80, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.45-2.23], KOA (OR = 1.86, 95% CI = 1.4...
This study demonstrated the genetic causal association of prolonged TV watching time with overall OA and KOA risks....
To investigate the causal relationship between poor lifestyle habits, such as smoking and drinking, and cutaneous malignant melanoma....
In the present study, alcohol consumption and smoking were used as exposure factors, and single nucleotide polymorphisms closely associated with alcohol consumption and smoking were used as instrument...
We found a positive and statistically significant causal effect of alcohol intake on the risk of cutaneous malignant melanoma (OR: 2.23; 95%CI: 1.11-4.47; p=0.02). The present study showed no signific...
This study provides Mendelian randomization evidence supporting alcohol consumption as a risk factor for cutaneous malignant melanoma. And the causal relationship between smoking and cutaneous maligna...
To investigate the relationship between function of thyroid, lipids, and cholelithiasis and to identify whether lipids mediate the causal relationship between function of thyroid and cholelithiasis....
A Mendelian randomization (MR) study of two samples was performed to determine the association of thyroid function with cholelithiasis. A two-step MR was also performed to identify whether lipid metab...
The IVW method revealed that FT4 levels were correlated with an elevated risk of cholelithiasis (OR: 1.149, 95% CI: 1.082-1.283,...
We demonstrated that FT4, LDL-C, and apolipoprotein B had significant causal effects on cholelithiasis, with evidence that LDL-C and apolipoprotein B mediated the effects of FT4 on cholelithiasis risk...
Whether the positive associations of smoking and alcohol consumption with gastrointestinal diseases are causal is uncertain. We conducted this Mendelian randomization (MR) to comprehensively examine a...
Genetic variants associated with smoking initiation and alcohol consumption at the genome-wide significance level were selected as instrumental variables. Genetic associations with 24 gastrointestinal...
Genetic predisposition to smoking initiation was associated with increased risk of 20 of 24 gastrointestinal diseases, including 7 upper gastrointestinal diseases (gastroesophageal reflux, esophageal ...
This study provides MR evidence supporting causal associations of smoking with a broad range of gastrointestinal diseases, whereas alcohol consumption was associated with only a few gastrointestinal d...

Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is one of the residual risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the setting of optimal low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). The association between Lp(a) and CVD...
Lp(a) (n = 377,590) was a genome-wide association study (GWAS) based on European populations from Neale Lab. Large GWAS datasets for CVD, including aortic aneurysm(AA) (n = 209,366), atrial fibrillati...
Our two-sample MR, which was predominately based on IVW1, revealed a causal relationship between Lp(a) and AA (OR = 1.005, 95%CI: 1.001-1.010, P = 0.009), CHD (OR = 1.003, 95%CI 1.001-1.004, P = 0.010...
This MR study suggested a causal relationship between Lp(a) and CHD, AA, and ISL, but not associated with AF, HF, IS, LIS, ISS, HBP, or PE. Our work further verifies the association between Lp(a) and ...
