Mendelian randomization provides support for obesity as a risk factor for meningioma.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2019-01-22)
Little is known about the causes of meningioma. Obesity and obesity-related traits have been reported in several epidemiological observational studies to be risk factors for meningioma. We performed an analysis of genetic ...
Modifiable pathways for colorectal cancer: a mendelian randomisation analysis.
(ELSEVIER INC, 2020-01-01)
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies have linked lifestyle, cardiometabolic, reproductive, developmental, and inflammatory factors to the risk of colorectal cancer. However, which specific factors affect risk and the strength ...
Impact of atopy on risk of glioma: a Mendelian randomisation study.
(BMC, 2018-03-15)
BACKGROUND: An inverse relationship between allergies with glioma risk has been reported in several but not all epidemiological observational studies. We performed an analysis of genetic variants associated with atopy to ...
Lack of an association between gallstone disease and bilirubin levels with risk of colorectal cancer: a Mendelian randomisation analysis.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-03-16)
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies of the relationship between gallstone disease and circulating levels of bilirubin with risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) have been inconsistent. To address possible confounding ...
Mendelian randomisation study of the relationship between vitamin D and risk of glioma.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-02-05)
To examine for a causal relationship between vitamin D and glioma risk we performed an analysis of genetic variants associated with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels using Mendelian randomisation (MR), an approach ...
