To investigate the potential causal link between genetic variants associated with gut microbiome and risk of intracranial aneurysm (IA) using two-sample mendelian randomization (MR).
We performed two sets of MR analyses. At first, we selected the genome-wide statistical significant(P < 5 × 10) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as instrumental variables (IVs). Then, we selected the locus-wide significant (P < 1 × 10) SNPs as IVs for the other set of analyses to obtain more comprehensive conclusions. Gut microbiome genetic association estimates were derived from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 18,473 individuals. Summary-level statistics for IA were obtained from 79,429 individuals, which included 7,495 cases and 71,934 controls.
On the basis of locus-wide significance level, inverse variance weighted(IVW) showed that Clostridia [(odds ratio (OR): 2.60; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.00-6.72, P = 0.049)], Adlercreutzia (OR: 1.81; 95% CI: 1.10-2.99, P = 0.021) and Victivallis (OR: 1.38; 95% CI: 1.01-1.88, P = 0.044) were positively related with the risk of unruptured intracranial aneurysm(UIA); Weighted median results of MR showed Oscillospira (OR: 0.37; 95% CI: 0.17-0.84, P = 0.018) was negatively with the risk of UIA and Sutterella (OR: 1.84; 95% CI: 1.04-3.23, P = 0.035) was positively related with the risk of UIA; MR-Egger method analysis indicated that Paraprevotella (OR: 0.32; 95% CI: 0.13-0.80, P = 0.035) was negatively with the risk of UIA and Rhodospirillaceae (OR: 13.39; 95% CI: 1.44-124.47, P = 0.048) was positively related with the risk of UIA. The results suggest that Streptococcus (OR: 5.19; 95% CI: 1.25-21.56; P = 0.024) and Peptostreptococcaceae (OR: 4.92; 95% CI: 1.32-18.32; P = 0.018) may increase the risk of UIA according to genome-wide statistical significance thresholds.
This MR analysis indicates that there exists a beneficial or detrimental causal effect of gut microbiota composition on IAs.
利用两样本 Mendelian 随机化(MR)方法研究与肠道微生物组相关的遗传变异与颅内动脉瘤(IA)风险之间的潜在因果关系。
我们进行了两组 MR 分析。首先,我们选择全基因组统计学显著(P < 5×10)的单核苷酸多态性(SNPs)作为工具变量(IVs)。然后,我们选择局域显著(P < 1×10)的 SNPs 作为另一组分析的 IVs,以得出更全面的结论。肠道微生物组遗传关联估计值来自对 18473 个人的全基因组关联研究(GWAS)。IA 的汇总水平统计数据来自包含 7495 例病例和 71934 例对照的 79429 个人。
基于局域显著性水平,逆方差加权(IVW)显示梭菌(OR:2.60;95%置信区间(CI):1.00-6.72,P=0.049)、 Adlercreutzia(OR:1.81;95%CI:1.10-2.99,P=0.021)和 Victivallis(OR:1.38;95%CI:1.01-1.88,P=0.044)与未破裂颅内动脉瘤(UIA)的风险呈正相关;MR 加权中位数结果显示 Oscillospira(OR:0.37;95%CI:0.17-0.84,P=0.018)与 UIA 的风险呈负相关,Sutterella(OR:1.84;95%CI:1.04-3.23,P=0.035)与 UIA 的风险呈正相关;MR-Egger 方法分析表明,Paraprevotella(OR:0.32;95%CI:0.13-0.80,P=0.035)与 UIA 的风险呈负相关,Rhodospirillaceae(OR:13.39;95%CI:1.44-124.47,P=0.048)与 UIA 的风险呈正相关。结果表明,根据全基因组统计学显著性阈值,Streptococcus(OR:5.19;95%CI:1.25-21.56;P=0.024)和 Peptostreptococcaceae(OR:4.92;95%CI:1.32-18.32;P=0.018)可能会增加 UIA 的风险。
本 MR 分析表明,肠道微生物组成与 IA 之间存在有益或有害的因果关系。
