The purpose of this study was to investigate the causal relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hypertension using a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis.
The associated data of GERD with hypertension were derived from the genome-wide association study (GWAS) database, and two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed using methods including inverse variance weighting (IVW), MR-Egger, and weighted median (WM) to investigate the causal association between GERD and hypertension.
A total of 16 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) strongly associated with GERD were screened out, and the IVW suggested a causal relationship between GERD and hypertension (OR: 1.057; 95% CI: 1.044-1.071; < 0.05). The weighted median also showed a similar relationship (OR: 1.051, 95% CI: 1.032-1.07; < 0.05). In addition, no heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy was observed, suggesting a robustness of the outcome.
There is a positive causal relationship between GERD and hypertension.
本研究旨在通过两样本孟德尔随机化分析探讨胃食管反流病（GERD）与高血压之间的因果关系。
GERD与高血压的相关数据来自全基因组关联研究（GWAS）数据库，并采用逆方差加权（IVW）、MR-Egger和加权中位数（WM）等方法进行两样本孟德尔随机化（MR）分析，以研究GERD与高血压之间的因果关联。
共筛选出16个与GERD密切相关的单核苷酸多态性（SNP），IVW分析提示GERD与高血压之间存在因果关系（OR：1.057；95%CI：1.044 - 1.071；P＜0.05）。加权中位数分析也显示出类似关系（OR：1.051，95%CI：1.032 - 1.07；P＜0.05）。此外，未观察到异质性或水平多效性，表明结果具有稳健性。
GERD与高血压之间存在正向因果关系。
