BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Heavy metals, ubiquitous in the environment, pose a global public health concern. The correlation between these and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) remains unclear. Our objective was to explore the correlation between heavy me...
Increased left atrial volume and decreased left atrial function have long been associated with atrial fibrillation. The availability of large-scale cardiac magnetic resonance imaging data paired with genetic data provides a unique opportunity to asse...
Recent researches reported that neurotrophins can promote glioma growth/invasion but the relevant model for predicting patients' survival in Lower-Grade Gliomas (LGGs) lacked. In this study, we adopted univariate Cox analysis, LASSO regression, and m...
Multi-task deep learning (DL) models can accurately predict diverse genomic marks from sequence, but whether these models learn the causal relationships between genomic marks is unknown. Here, we describe Deep Mendelian Randomization (DeepMR), a meth...
BACKGROUND: The microvasculature, the smallest blood vessels in the body, has key roles in maintenance of organ health and tumorigenesis. The retinal fundus is a window for human in vivo noninvasive assessment of the microvasculature. Large-scale com...
BACKGROUND: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a primary cause of chronic low back pain, significantly impacting quality of life and healthcare systems globally. Despite its prevalence, the molecular mechanisms underlying IVDD remain unclear,...
BACKGROUND: Although studies have shown that patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are at a higher risk of developing myasthenia gravis (MG), the causal relationship and shared genetic basis between these two diseases have not been fully investigat...
BACKGROUND: Diabetic nephropathy (DN), affecting 30%-40% of diabetic patients, is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. This study aims to identify diagnostic biomarkers and explore potential gene-metabolite interactions in DN patho...
Decreased glucose tolerance is recognized as a factor associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) progression, yet the relationship between HbA1c and PD prognosis remains insufficiently explored. Using data from the Integrated Epidemiological Unit (IEU)...
Mendelian randomization (MR) enables the estimation of causal effects while controlling for unmeasured confounding factors. However, traditional MR's reliance on strong parametric assumptions can introduce bias if these are violated. We describe a ma...
