Mendelian Randomization and Colocalization Analysis Reveal New Drug Targets for Oral Ulcer: A Mendelian Randomization Analysis

Health Science Reports
ABSTRACTBackground and AimsOral ulcer (OU) is a complex issue with limited effective treatments. This study uses multi‐omics data through summary Mendelian randomization (SMR) and colocalization analysis to identify specific gene associations with OU, aiming to find new therapeutic targets, repurpose existing drugs, and develop new treatment options ...
