Abstract Aims Gut dysbiosis is proven to be involved in the pathogenesis and progression of heart failure (HF). Hindering the detrimental effects of gut‐heart axis is an emerging trend. Our goal is to investigate the causal relationship between gut microbiota and HF, with the aim of facilitating future exploration of microbiome‐targeted approaches to ...

The incidence of acute pancreatitis is increasing over years especially in western countries, but the etiologies of acute pancreatitis have not been well understood. And it is unclear whether the reported possible risk factors are real causes of acute pancreatitis.

Leveraging Local Distributions in Mendelian Randomization: Uncertain Opinions are Invalid [PDF]
Mendelian randomization (MR) considers using genetic variants as instrumental variables (IVs) to infer causal effects in observational studies. However, the validity of causal inference in MR can be compromised when the IVs are potentially invalid. In this work, we propose a new method, MR-Local, to infer the causal effect in the existence of possibly ...

Integrating summarized data from multiple genetic variants in Mendelian randomization: bias and coverage properties of inverse-variance weighted methods [PDF]
Mendelian randomization is the use of genetic variants as instrumental variables to assess whether a risk factor is a cause of a disease outcome. Increasingly, Mendelian randomization investigations are conducted on the basis of summarized data, rather than individual-level data.

Using reported pathogenic variants to identify therapeutic opportunities for genetic diseases
The increase in size of publicly available variant annotation and Mendelian disease databases have allowed for novel approaches to identify the likely direction of effect of genetic mutations. Specifically, we found a simple ratio of missense mutations is capable of identifying genes likely to cause disease through a gain‐of‐function mechanism ...

Multiomics insight into the role of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists in heart failure
Graphical abstract of the multiomics insight into the role of GLP1Ra in cardiovascular diseases and the underlying pathway. GLP1Ra, glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist. Abstract Aims Cardiovascular diseases, such as atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, heart failure (HF) and ischaemic stroke, are leading causes of death globally and exert
