Inflammatory factors and nasopharyngeal carcinoma: A two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an important health concern worldwide. Previous studies are susceptible to confounding factors. To solve this problem, this study uses Mendelian randomization (MR) to discover the causal relationship between inflammatory factors and NPC from a genetic perspective. A 2-sample MR analysis was performed using data from genome-wide association analysis studies of 41 inflammatory...
