Observational studies suggest an association between lichen planus (LP) and Alzheimer disease (AD), but causality remains unclear due to confounding and reverse causation. In this study, we conducted a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using Integrative Epidemiology Unit OpenGWAS database for LP (ID: finn-b-L12_LICHENPLANUS) and AD (ID: ebi-a-GCST90012877). The inverse-variance...
