Graves' disease and the risk of five autoimmune diseases: A Mendelian randomization and colocalization study.
Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome 2024 April 31
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies have consistently demonstrated a high prevalence of concurrent autoimmune diseases in individuals with Graves' disease (GD).
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to establish a causal association between GD and autoimmune diseases.
METHODS: We employed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to infer a causal association between GD and five autoimmune diseases, namely rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), in the East Asian and European population. Genetic correlations were explored through linkage disequilibrium score regression analysis (LDSC). Finally, colocalization analyses were performed to investigate possible genetic foundations.
RESULTS: Bidirectional MR analysis indicated that genetically predicted GD increased the risk of RA (Odds Ratio (OR): 1.34, 95 % Confidence Interval (CI): 1.21 to 1.47, P < 0.001) and SLE (OR: 1.21, 95%CI: 1.08 to 1.35, P < 0.001) in the East Asian population. In contrast, we found that genetically predicted RA (OR: 1.14, 95%CI: 1.05 to 1.24, P = 0.002) and SLE (OR: 1.10, 95%CI: 1.03 to 1.17, P = 0.003) were associated with a higher risk of GD. The results have been partially validated in European cohorts. Colocalization analysis suggested the potential existence of shared causal variants between GD and other autoimmune diseases. In particular, gene ARID5B may play an important role in the incidence of autoimmune diseases.
CONCLUSION: This study has confirmed that GD was associated with RA and SLE and found a possible key gene ARID5B. It may be necessary to strengthen detection to prevent the occurrence of comorbidities in clinical practice.
