Objective: This study seeks to elucidate the causal relationship between major coronary heart disease events (MCHDE) and lung cancer incidence through mendelian randomization (MR), with the goal of providing evidence to inform more effective lung cancer screening and prevention strategies.
Methods: Utilizing data from the IEU OpenGWAS project and FinnGen, this study employed a two-sample MR approach, with genetic variants serving as instrumental variables. Relevant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with MCHDE and lung cancer were carefully selected, with particular attention given to mitigating potential confounders, such as smoking behaviors and statin use.
