Mendelian randomization analysis to explore the relationship between cathepsins and malignant ovarian tumors.

Abstract excerpt

Cysteine cathepsins are a family of lysosomal proteases that are often overexpressed in several human malignancies and haves been linked to cellular genomic alterations, disturbances in genomic stability, and the onset and spread of cancer. Recent studies have shown alterations in cysteine cathepsins in malignant ovarian tumors. However, it remains unclear whether there is a causal relationship between ovarian...
