Abstract
Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the bidirectional causal relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Methods: Using an online pooled dataset of genome-wide association studies (GWAS), a two-sample bi-directional Mendelian randomization (MR) method was implemented. Inverse variance weighting was used as the primary analyses approach, and other methods of MR Egger, weighted median method, MR-Egger, Simple mode, and Weighted mode analysis were conducted as supplements to evaluate the causal relationship between OSA and TMD with odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Furthermore, the Cochran Q, MR-Egger, and MR-PRESSO approaches were used to perform the heterogeneity test and multiple validity. Results: The general results of the forward MR analysis indicated that OSA had a significant causal influence on TMD (OR=1.241, 95% CI: 1.009– 1.526, P=0.041), but no significant correlation was observed in the reverse MR analysis (IVW: OR=0.975, 95% CI=0.918– 1.036, P=0.411). Conclusion: In summary, our research demonstrated a hereditary causative relationship between OSA and TMD, indicating that appropriate intervention is required for both prevention and treatment of TMD.
期刊介绍:
Nature and Science of Sleep is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal covering all aspects of sleep science and sleep medicine, including the neurophysiology and functions of sleep, the genetics of sleep, sleep and society, biological rhythms, dreaming, sleep disorders and therapy, and strategies to optimize healthy sleep.
Specific topics covered in the journal include:
The functions of sleep in humans and other animals
Physiological and neurophysiological changes with sleep
The genetics of sleep and sleep differences
The neurotransmitters, receptors and pathways involved in controlling both sleep and wakefulness
Behavioral and pharmacological interventions aimed at improving sleep, and improving wakefulness
Sleep changes with development and with age
Sleep and reproduction (e.g., changes across the menstrual cycle, with pregnancy and menopause)
The science and nature of dreams
Sleep disorders
Impact of sleep and sleep disorders on health, daytime function and quality of life
Sleep problems secondary to clinical disorders
Interaction of society with sleep (e.g., consequences of shift work, occupational health, public health)
The microbiome and sleep
Chronotherapy
Impact of circadian rhythms on sleep, physiology, cognition and health
Mechanisms controlling circadian rhythms, centrally and peripherally
Impact of circadian rhythm disruptions (including night shift work, jet lag and social jet lag) on sleep, physiology, cognition and health
Behavioral and pharmacological interventions aimed at reducing adverse effects of circadian-related sleep disruption
Assessment of technologies and biomarkers for measuring sleep and/or circadian rhythms
Epigenetic markers of sleep or circadian disruption.
