Exploring Genetic and Biological Interconnections Between Neuroticism, Psychological Distress, Insomnia, and C‐Reactive Protein: Insights From the UK Biobank

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Psychobehavioral and physical health traits often co‐occur. Although previous studies have identified associations between neuroticism, psychological distress, insomnia, and inflammatory biomarkers such as C‐reactive protein (CRP), it remains unclear whether there is a genetic basis to these associations, and which biological pathways are ...

Addressing the credibility crisis in Mendelian randomization

BMC Medicine
Background Genome-wide association studies have enabled Mendelian randomization analyses to be performed at an industrial scale. Two-sample summary data Mendelian randomization analyses can be performed using publicly available data by anyone who has ...

Revealing the link between gut microbiota and brain tumor risk: a new perspective from Mendelian randomization

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
BackgroundRecent studies have shown that gut microbiota may be related to the occurrence of brain tumors, but direct evidence is lacking. This study used the Mendelian randomization study (MR) method to explore the potential causal link between gut ...

Mendelian randomization: Principles and methods [PDF]

Mendelian randomization (MR) is a methodology for evaluating causality in observational studies. MR tries to find the fact that genotypes are not susceptible to reverse causation and confounding based on Mendel's law of inheritance.

Genetic Resilience and Resistance in Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis and Pathology

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Some individuals avoid Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology as they age, or retain cognition despite substantial pathology, suggesting mechanisms of resistance or resilience to neurodegeneration. Educational attainment (EA) is associated with reduced risk of cognitive decline, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

BioWinfordMR: an online platform for comprehensive Mendelian randomization analysis

Frontiers in Immunology
Background Mendelian randomization (MR) has become a tool for the rapid and accurate identification of genetic relationships between phenotypes. However, owing to the lack of rigorous and standard analytical tools, many MR conclusions are unreproducible or controversial.

Adding Mendelian randomization to a meta-analysis—a burgeoning opportunity

Tumor Biology, 2015
Current literature is teeming with tens of thousands of meta-analyses, but only a small fraction made seminal contributions to enriching our understanding of the mechanisms of carcinogenesis, possibly due to chance, bias, confounding, or reverse causality.

Increased Plasma Microbial tDR‐1 in At‐Risk Individuals Is Associated With Decreased Conversion to Clinical Rheumatoid Arthritis and Reduces an In Vitro Macrophage Type 1 Interferon Response

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Microbial small RNAs can regulate human genes. Higher plasma concentrations of microbial transfer RNA (tRNA)‐derived RNA‐1 (tDR‐1) were previously associated with lower rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity. This study examined whether tDR‐1 concentrations differ in anticyclic citrullinated peptide‐3 positive (CCP3+) at‐risk individuals (

Associations of 35 Serum and Urine Biomarkers With Vascular Dementia—A Mendelian Randomization Study

Brain and Behavior
Background The relationship between serum and urine biomarkers with vascular dementia (VD) has been increasingly highlighted by observational studies. Yet, the causal nature underlying these associations remains elusive.
