Abstract excerpt
The human oral and gut microbiota are the 4 largest microbial communities in the body and play crucial roles in maintaining homeostasis and influencing disease. Observational studies have suggested links between these microbiota and bone neoplasm-related phenotypes, but establishing causality has been challenging due to confounding factors and reverse causality. We conducted a bidirectional, 2-sample Mendelian...
