Causal link between gut microbiota and four types of pancreatitis: a genetic association and bidirectional Mendelian randomization study

Abstract

Our first systematic Mendelian randomization analysis provides evidence that multiple gut microbiota taxa may be causally associated with four types of pancreatitis disease. This discovery may contribute significant biomarkers conducive to the preliminary, non-invasive identification of Pancreatitis. Additionally, it could present viable targets for potential therapeutic interventions in the disease's treatment.
