Unveiling the Mechanism of Retinoic Acid Therapy for Cutaneous Warts: Insights from Multi-Omics Integration.

Background: Due to limited treatment options, cutaneous warts caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) remain a significant clinical challenge. Furthermore, the genetic susceptibility and molecular basis of viral warts are not yet fully understood.

Methods: We utilized a multi-omics integration approach, encompassing genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis, summary data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR) analysis, and transcriptomic validation using the GSE136347 dataset.

Exploring the roles and potential therapeutic strategies of inflammation and metabolism in the pathogenesis of vitiligo: a mendelian randomization and bioinformatics-based investigation.

Introduction: Vitiligo, a common autoimmune acquired pigmentary skin disorder, poses challenges due to its unclear pathogenesis. Evidence suggests inflammation and metabolism's pivotal roles in its onset and progression. This study aims to elucidate the causal relationships between vitiligo and inflammatory proteins, immune cells, and metabolites, exploring bidirectional associations and potential drug targets.

Relationship between bullous pemphigoid and malignancy: A Mendelian randomization study.

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune blistering disease, which primarily affects the elderly. However, the relationship between BP and malignancy remains controversial in traditional observational studies. The aim of this study, which included only European populations, was to assess the potential causative link between BP and 13 types of malignant tumors in a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study.
