Investigating the effect of sexual behaviour on oropharyngeal cancer risk: a methodological assessment of Mendelian randomization

2021-06-25

Abstract excerpt

Human papilloma virus infection is known to influence oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) risk, likely via sexual transmission. However, sexual behaviour has been correlated with other risk factors including smoking and alcohol, meaning independent effects are difficult to establish. Here we evaluate aspects of sexual behaviour in relation to the risk of OPC (2,641 cases and 6,585 controls), using genetic variants associat...
