2021-01-24
Abstract excerpt
Observational studies indicate that periodontal disease may increase the risk of colorectal, lung, and pancreatic cancers. We tested these associations using two-sample Mendelian randomization to emulate a randomized study with observational data. We developed an instrument including single nucleotide polymorphisms with strong genome-wide association study evidence for associations with aggressive and/or advanced...
