Abstract excerpt
Existing research suggests a potential link between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Otitis media (OM). Nevertheless, the specifics of this correlation are not clearly defined. In order to explore the genetic link between GERD and OM, this study engaged a 2-sample Mendelian randomization methodology. Initial steps comprised careful selection of instrumental variables, namely the single-nucleotide...
