This study assessed if any herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection was a genetically valid target for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) using 2-sample Mendelian randomization. We applied strong (p-value <5×10) and independent (r < 0.05) genetic variants for any HSV infection (n = 450,581) to genome wide association studies of cognitive function (n = 300,486), and late-onset AD (n = 455,258) to obtain estimates. Genetically predicted log odds of any HSV infection was not associated with cognitive function (mean difference 0.0004 per any HSV infection, 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.001 to 0.001), or late-onset AD (odds ratio (OR) 0.999, 95% CI 0.998-1.001). Different genetic variant selections produced similar results. Any HSV infection does not appear to be a genetically valid target of intervention in late-onset AD, suggesting a rethink of the relevance of any HSV infection to late-onset AD.
本研究使用两样本孟德尔随机化方法评估单纯疱疹病毒（HSV）感染是否为晚发型阿尔茨海默病（AD）的有效遗传靶点。我们将针对任何HSV感染的强关联（p值<5×10）且独立（r<0.05）的遗传变异（n = 450,581）应用于认知功能（n = 300,486）和晚发型AD（n = 455,258）的全基因组关联研究以获得估计值。遗传预测的任何HSV感染的对数优势比与认知功能（每例HSV感染的平均差异为0.0004，95%置信区间（CI）为-0.001至0.001）或晚发型AD（优势比（OR）为0.999，95%CI为0.998 - 1.001）均无关联。不同的遗传变异选择产生了相似的结果。任何HSV感染似乎都不是晚发型AD的有效遗传干预靶点，这提示需重新思考任何HSV感染与晚发型AD的相关性。
