To overcome these limitations, we performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the potential association between PD and HCC.
Methods: We used summary data from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of European ancestry, integrating data from chronic/acute periodontitis (CP/AP) samples (n1 = 34,615; n2 = 277,036; n3 = 410,811) and HCC samples (n1 = 456,348; n2 = 475,638).
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are an increasing cause of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCC). Integration of the viral genome into the host genome is suggested to affect carcinogenesis, however, the correlation with OPSCC patient prognosis is still unclear. Research on HPV integration is hampered by current integration detection technologies and their unsuitability for formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues.

Therefore, it is crucial to identify the genes responsible for LIRI and develop effective therapeutic strategies that target immune response. Methylation modifications in mRNA play various crucial roles in different diseases.
