Abstract

Objectives: Growing evidence appears to intimate a profound connection between periodontitis and coronary atherosclerosis (CA), yet the existence of a causal relationship remains unclear VSports手机版. Through the implementation of Mendelian randomization analysis, we further evaluated the potential causal link between chronic/acute periodontitis (CP/AP) and CA. .

Methods: Utilizing genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics, we incorporated periodontitis data derived from European samples (n1 = 198,441; n2 = 195,762) and CA data from 61,194 cases. We conducted a 2 sample, bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method as the main analytical approach. Supplementary analyses were executed through MR Egger, Weighted median (WM), IVW, Simple mode, and Weighted mode approaches. V体育安卓版.

Results: The IVW analysis revealed no significant causal relationship between CA and periodontitis (CA-CP: OR = 2. 110, 95% CI = 0. 208-21 V体育ios版. 317, P = . 527; CA-AP: OR = 0. 414, 95% CI = 0. 051-3. 384, P = . 644). Similarly, the bidirectional analysis did not identify impact of periodontitis on CA (OR = 1. 000, 95% CI = 0. 999-1. 001, P = . 953). The supplementary analyses corroborated these findings. .

Conclusions: While studies highlighting a correlation between periodontitis and CA, our comprehensive analysis does not corroborate a causal association between periodontitis and CA. Further research is needed to elucidate other potential shared mechanisms and causal evidence between periodontitis and CA VSports最新版本. .

Schematic illustration of the 2-sample Mendelian randomization study investigating the relationship between periodontitis (chronic/acute) and coronary atherosclerosis. The depicted design proposes a bidirectional association between periodontitis and coronary atherosclerosis, accounting for potential confounding factors.

A and B. Forest plots depicting the causal influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with coronary atherosclerosis on chronic periodontitis (A) and acute periodontitis (B). (The results calculated by Mendelian randomization using a single SNP are summarized and visualized. The red line below is the Mendelian randomization results including all SNPS. It can be seen that the results of a single SNP are positive and negative, indicating that the effect is not significant. The axis represents the effect size(β) of each SNP.) C and D. Scatter plots illustrate the genetic associations between coronary atherosclerosis, chronic periodontitis (C), and acute periodontitis (D). (Each point on the scatter plot represents an SNP, with the horizontal coordinate being the SNP's effect on exposure and the vertical coordinate being the SNP's effect on outcome. It is possible to observe whether the stronger the SNP effect on exposure, the stronger the SNP effect on outcome. At the same time, the scatter plot includes the analysis results of the 5 methods.)
