Article Synopsis
- Previous research links gut microbiota and immune status to various diseases, but their role in the development of polyps is not well understood, prompting this study to explore their causal relationship with four types of polyps (nasal, gallbladder, colon, and gastric) through Mendelian randomization (MR) methods.
- The analysis utilized data from large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to assess gut microbiota and immune traits, employing techniques like univariate MR and MR-BMA to identify significant associations and potential mediators.
- Results showed that numerous gut microbial taxa and immune traits are causally linked to polyps, with specific taxa and traits identified as priorities for each type of polyp, hinting at complex interactions between
