Mendelian randomization analysis of female reproductive factors on osteoarthritis

Medicine
Epidemiology shows women have a higher incidence of osteoarthritis (OA) than men. However, there is not enough evidence to suggest a direct correlation between female reproductive factors and OA. Therefore, this study will employ Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate whether there is a causal relationship between the 2. This study used a

Causal correlations between inflammatory proteins and heart failure: A two‐sample Mendelian randomization analysis

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1374-1385, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Inflammation plays a critical role in both the development and progression of heart failure (HF), which is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, the causality between specific inflammation‐related proteins and HF risk remains unclear.

Periodontitis and osteoporosis: a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research
The incidences of periodontitis and osteoporosis are rising worldwide. Observational studies have shown that periodontitis is associated with increased risk of osteoporosis. We performed a Mendelian randomization (MR) study to genetically investigate the causality of periodontitis on osteoporosis.

Precision therapies for genetic epilepsies in 2025: Promises and pitfalls

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract By targeting the underlying etiology, precision therapies offer an exciting paradigm shift to improve the stagnant outcomes of drug‐resistant epilepsies, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Unlike conventional antiseizure medications (ASMs) which only treat the symptoms (seizures) but have no effect on the underlying ...

Inflammation and keratoconus: A comprehensive bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis

Medicine
An increasing body of evidence supports the involvement of inflammation and immune responses in the occurrence and development of keratoconus (KC). However, the causal relationship between inflammatory factors and KC remains unclear. We employed a 2-way Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to investigate the interaction between KC and inflammatory ...
