Article Synopsis
- Multiple studies suggest a link between gut microbiome and prostate cancer (PCa), but it's unclear if there's a causal relationship due to various influencing factors.
- Using a 2-sample Mendelian randomization analysis, researchers examined gut microbiota data from over 18,000 individuals and PCa data from over 46,000 to investigate this connection.
- The analysis identified 12 specific gut microbial taxa that may causally influence PCa risk, indicating potential new avenues for screening and treatment strategies for the disease.
Prostatitis represents a common disease of the male genitourinary system, significantly impacting the physical and mental health of male patients. While numerous studies have suggested a potential link between immune cell activity and prostatitis, the exact causal role of immune cells in prostatitis remains uncertain. This study aims to explore the causal relationship between immune cell characteristics and prostatitis using a bidirectional Mendelian randomization approach.
