Abstract
Background: Numerous studies have demonstrated a strong association between traumatic brain injury (TBI) and an increased risk of meningioma. However, this correlation remains controversial. This study utilized Mendelian randomization to explore this relationship from the perspective of genetic evidence.
Methods: We employed 6 TBI genome-wide association study datasets from the integrative epidemiology unit genome-wide association study database. Summary statistics for meningioma were sourced from the FinnGen R10 database. We assessed heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy within the analyzed data. The primary method was inverse variance weighting (IVW) to investigate the causal relationship between TBI and meningioma, excluding cases with horizontal pleiotropy. Four supplementary analysis methods were also used, with abnormal results excluded based on leave-one-out sensitivity analysis.
Results: All 6 Mendelian randomization analyses indicated no causal relationship between TBI and meningiomas (focal brain injury IVW P value = 0.98; diffuse brain injury IVW P value = 0.41; TBI without concussion IVW P value = 0.45; intracranial trauma IVW P value = 0.34; traumatic subdural hemorrhage IVW P value = 0.80; traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage IVW P value = 0.92).
Conclusions: The Mendelian randomization study revealed that TBI does not increase the risk of meningioma based on genetic evidence.
期刊介绍:
World Neurosurgery has an open access mirror journal World Neurosurgery: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The journal''s mission is to:
-To provide a first-class international forum and a 2-way conduit for dialogue that is relevant to neurosurgeons and providers who care for neurosurgery patients. The categories of the exchanged information include clinical and basic science, as well as global information that provide social, political, educational, economic, cultural or societal insights and knowledge that are of significance and relevance to worldwide neurosurgery patient care.
-To act as a primary intellectual catalyst for the stimulation of creativity, the creation of new knowledge, and the enhancement of quality neurosurgical care worldwide.
-To provide a forum for communication that enriches the lives of all neurosurgeons and their colleagues; and, in so doing, enriches the lives of their patients.
Topics to be addressed in World Neurosurgery include: EDUCATION, ECONOMICS, RESEARCH, POLITICS, HISTORY, CULTURE, CLINICAL SCIENCE, LABORATORY SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES, CLINICAL IMAGES, VIDEOS
