Genetic insights into the shared molecular mechanisms of Crohn's disease and breast cancer: a Mendelian randomization and deep learning approach.

The objective of this study was to explore the potential genetic link between Crohn's disease and breast cancer, with a focus on identifying druggable genes that may have therapeutic relevance. We assessed the causal relationship between these diseases through Mendelian randomization and investigated gene-drug interactions using computational predictions. This study sought to identify common genetic pathways possibly involved in immune responses and cancer progression, providing a foundation for future targeted treatment research.
