Mapping Causal Biology: Mendelian Randomization in the Era of Big Data

Med Research, EarlyView.
Mendelian randomization (MR) leverages genetic variants to mitigate confounding biases in causal inference. This review systematically maps MR's methodological evolution, highlights its expanding applications in epidemiology and drug target validation, and outlines future directions for overcoming current biases through dynamic, multi‐omics, and cross ...

PCSK9 inhibitors and osteoporosis: mendelian randomization and meta-analysis

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Abstract Background Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors represent an effective strategy for reducing cardiovascular disease risk. Yet, PCSK9’s impact on osteoporosis remains unclear. Hence, we employed Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis for examining PCSK9 inhibitor effects on osteoporosis.

Omics GWAS: A Multi‐Omics Integrative Analysis Platform for Genome‐Wide Association Studies

Med Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With the rapid advancement of genome‐wide association studies (GWAS), downstream analyses of GWAS data have become essential for elucidating the genetic mechanisms that underlie complex diseases. However, current post‐GWAS analyses face numerous challenges, including heterogeneous data formats, challenges in multi‐omics integration, and ...

Proteomic Signatures of Ectopic Fat Distribution: Tissue‐Specific Drivers and Clinical Implications

Med Research, EarlyView.
Integration of plasma proteomics and multi‐organ MRI in 666 UK Biobank participants, combined with a knockoff‐based causal inference and machine learning framework, reveals organ‐specific drivers of ectopic fat: PLA2G1B (pancreas), ERBB2/IGFBP2 (liver), CA14 (muscle), and NCAM2/TNFRSF10B (pericardium). These drivers engage distinct pathways (e.g., PI3K‐

Sickle Cell Disease: Historical Overview and Current Therapies

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide, yet the limited treatment options currently available do not always adequately control the disease and carry significant side effects. At present, the only curative treatment is hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation, a procedure that carries considerable challenges and numerous ...

When Fat Goes Astray: Your Liver and Pancreas Get Into Trouble

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and intrapancreatic fat deposition (IPFD) are both common manifestations of ectopic fat accumulation. Although they share multiple risk factors, they also show notable differences in pathological features, standardization of diagnosis, and research maturity.
