Causal relationship between ulcerative colitis and bronchiectasis based on mendelian randomization
-
摘要:
目的 溃疡性结肠炎与支气管扩张之间临床可同时发病,采用两样本孟德尔随机化的方法来探究两者之间是否存在关联,为临床防治提供建议。 方法 在全基因关联研究(GWAS)的汇总数据中提取溃疡性结肠炎密切相关的遗传位点作为工具变量,支气管扩张为结局变量,提取的数据来源于欧洲人种。溃疡性结肠炎数据共包含样本量214 620人,SNPs为16 380 459个,支气管扩张症数据共包含样本量187 824人,SNPs为16 380 375个。分别用IVW、MR-Egger回归和WME进行MR分析,以OR值及95%CI评价溃疡性结肠炎与支气管扩张症之间因果关系,采用Egger-intercept法检验水平多效性,“留一法(leave-one-out)”进行敏感性分析。 结果 共纳入123个SNPs作为工具变量,IVW、MR-Egger、WME结果OR值和95% CI分别为1.089(1.008~1.177)、1.089(0.909~1.305)、1.031(0.918~1.157),IVW的P值小于0.05,表明溃疡性结肠炎与支气管扩张症之间存在因果关系。MR-Egger回归显示截距为3.190×10-5,标准误为0.013,P=0.998,即暴露因素的工具变量不存在水平多效性。异质性检验显示不存在异质性,“leave-one-out”敏感性分析结果稳定。 结论 溃疡性结肠炎对支气管扩张症的发生存在因果关联,会增加支气管扩张症的发病风险。 Abstract:Objective The association between ulcerative colitis and bronchiectasis can be clinically concurrent, and a two-sample mendelian randomization (MR) approach is used to investigate whether there is an association between the two and to provide recommendations for clinical management. Methods Genetic loci closely associated with ulcerative colitis were extracted as instrumental variables and bronchiectasis was the outcome variable in pooled data from the gene-wide association study (GWAS), which was derived from European ethnic groups. The ulcerative colitis data contained a total sample size of 214 620 individuals and 16 380 459 SNPs, and the bronchiectasis data contained a total sample size of 187 824 individuals and 16 380 375 SNPs. MR analysis was performed using the inverse-variance weighted (IVW), MR-Egger regression and the weighted median (WME) respectively, and the causal relationship between ulcerative colitis and bronchiectasis was evaluated by OR and 95% CI, and the Egger-intercept method was used to test for horizontal multiplicity, and the sensitivity analysis was performed using "leave-one-out method". Results A total of 123 SNPs were included as instrumental variables, with OR and 95% CI of 1.089 (1.008-1.177), 1.089 (0.909-1.305), and 1.031 (0.918-1.157) for IVW, MR-Egger, and WME results respectively, and P value of less than 0.05 for IVW, indicating that a causal relationship between ulcerative colitis and bronchiectasis was causally related. MR-Egger regression showed an intercept of 3.190×10-5 with a standard error of 0.013 and P=0.998, there was no horizontal pleiotropy for the instrumental variable of exposure factors. Heterogeneity tests showed no heterogeneity and the results of the "leave-one-out" sensitivity analysis were stable. Conclusion There is a causal association between ulcerative colitis and bronchiectasis, which increases the risk of developing bronchiectasis. -
