Evidence for genetic correlation between appendix and inflammatory bowel disease: a bidirectional Mendelian randomization study

2024-02-23

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Observational studies highlighted an association between the appendix and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, it's unclear whether the identified association is causal because of difficulties in establishing a clear temporal sequence. We investigated the association between acute appendicitis, appendectomy, and IBD by using two-sample bidirectional univariable Mendelian randomiza...
