Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of cancer. However, it is unclear whether it is a cause of cancer. This two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses, uses genetic instruments to proxy the exposure of mitochondrial dysfunction and cancer summary statistics as outcomes, allowing for causal inferences. METHODS: Summary statistics from 18 common cancers (2107-491,974 participants), gene...
