Abstract
Background: Research as shown that celiac disease (CD) is associated with skin diseases, but their causality remains unclear. Therefore, this Mendelian randomization (MR) study evaluated the causality between CD and skin diseases.
Methods: Bidirectional MR analysis was performed on single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) candidates identified from genome-wide association study (GWAS) datasets using inverse variance weighted (IVW), weighted median, MR-egger, weighted mode and simple mode. Multivariate MR (MVMR) analysis was subsequently conducted by adjusting for BMI, smoking, and alcohol use. Result reliability was assessed by horizontal pleiotropy and heterogeneity testing.
Results: IVW analysis revealed that CD increased the risk of atopic dermatitis (OR = 1.042, 95% CI: 1.018-1.067, P = 5.75 × 10-4) and cellulitis (OR = 1.026, 95% CI: 1.006-1.046, P = 9.18×10-3). Additionally, psoriasis had a suggestive association with CD (OR=0.836, 95% CI: 0.710-0.983, P = 0.031). MVMR analysis demonstrated that CD had a direct effect on atopic dermatitis and cellulitis.
Conclusion: CD contributes to higher risks of atopic dermatitis and cellulitis. Additionally, psoriasis is suggestively associated with CD. Nonetheless, further research is warranted to confirm these findings and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
期刊介绍:
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on the latest clinical and experimental research in all aspects of skin disease and cosmetic interventions. Normal and pathological processes in skin development and aging, their modification and treatment, as well as basic research into histology of dermal and dermal structures that provide clinical insights and potential treatment options are key topics for the journal.
Patient satisfaction, preference, quality of life, compliance, persistence and their role in developing new management options to optimize outcomes for target conditions constitute major areas of interest.
The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of clinical studies, reviews and original research in skin research and skin care.
All areas of dermatology will be covered; contributions will be welcomed from all clinicians and basic science researchers globally.
