Identification of genetically predicted protein biomarkers and drug targets for prostate cancer via Mendelian randomization

VIEW, EarlyView.
Prostate cancer, a leading cause of cancer in men globally, urgently requires improved diagnostic and treatment strategies. This study analyzed large genetic datasets and identified five key proteins (THBD, DST, IFI27L2, OSBPL10, PPP1R14A) that either increase or decrease cancer risk, while also exploring their roles in immune response and potential ...

Shared Genetic Basis and Causality Between Epilepsy and Psychiatric Disorders: Evidence From a Comprehensive Genetic Analysis

Brain and Behavior
Background Growing evidence suggests that epilepsy and psychiatric disorders may share common genetic underpinnings, yet the precise etiological relationship remains unclear. Psychiatric comorbidities affect approximately 30% of individuals with epilepsy,

From prediction to intervention: Paradigm shifts in causal AI for precision medicine and large‐scale cohorts

VIEW, EarlyView.
Large‐scale cohorts and multimodal biomedical data have enabled powerful predictive models for clinical risk stratification, but prediction alone cannot guide effective interventions. This review introduces causal artificial intelligence as a design‐first framework that integrates target trial emulation, causal discovery, and robust effect estimation ...

Sex Hormones and the Risk of Nasal Polyps: A Two‐Sample Mendelian Randomization Study

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The pathophysiological roles of sex hormones in airway inflammation have drawn much attention recently. We aimed to explore the causal effect of sex hormones on chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and nasal polyps (NP) via a Mendelian randomization (MR) study.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and BMI, Body Fat Percentage in the East Asian Population: A Bidirectional and Multivariate Mendelian Randomization Study

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To explore the causal relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and body fat percentage and body mass index (BMI) in the East Asian population by using bidirectional Mendelian randomization and multivariate Mendelian randomization.

Colour Morphs as Alternative Solutions to the Trade‐Off Predicted by the Immuno‐Competence Handicap Hypothesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In this study, we tested whether white and yellow morphs of the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) adopt alternative strategies shaped by the immuno‐competence handicap hypotheses (ICHH). We found that testosterone‐induced immune suppression was stronger in white males, while aggression decreased in both morphs.

Trait coevolution and causal inference using generalized dynamic phylogenetic models

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Phylogenetic comparative methods are widely used to study trait coevolution across biological and cultural domains. The most common methods are phylogenetic generalized linear (mixed) models, phylogenetic path analysis, Pagel's ‘discrete’ method and Ornstein–Uhlenbeck models. While some frameworks like generalized linear mixed models are quite

Bidirectional genetic and phenotypic links between smoking and striatal iron content involving dopaminergic and inflammatory pathways

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Tobacco smoking is a major risk factor for cardiovascular and lung diseases. A better understanding of its neurobiological underpinnings will benefit the prevention of smoking‐related illnesses and mortality. Previous studies link smoking to increased iron concentration in the striatum, a central component of the brain's ...

Shared Genetic Architectures between Coronary Artery Disease and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in East Asian and European Populations

Biomedicines
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common comorbidity of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the pathophysiology connecting these two phenotypes remains to be further understood.

Associations of cannabis use, tobacco use and co‐use with brain volume: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Cannabis is the most widely used illicit drug worldwide and is often co‐used with tobacco, the leading cause of preventable death. Although cannabis and tobacco have distinct neurobiological actions, their associations with brain volumes are unclear.
