The advancement of genome-wide association studies has enabled deeper understanding of the disease mechanisms and genetic susceptibility. Therefore, this study aims to explore the causal relationship between 731 immune cell types and the disease through Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. This 2-sample MR study investigated bidirectional causal relationships using summary statistics for immune cells characteristics from the Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) catalog and IgA nephropathy from the FinnGen dataset. The study primarily utilized the Inverse Variance Weighted method for its main outcome. Additionally, the robustness of the results is further enhanced by analyses of heterogeneity, pleiotropy, and multiple sensitivity tests. After adjusting for false discovery rate (FDR), the study results revealed a bidirectional causal relationship between CD8 on terminally differentiated CD8+ T cells (OR = 0.77, 95% CI = 0.67-0.88, P = .0001) and CD4 on CD28+ CD4+ T cells (OR = 0.75, 95% CI = 0.64-0.87, P = .0001) with the risk of IgA nephropathy.

In this study, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from genome-wide association studies-pooled data related to bone neoplasms and gut microbiota abundance were evaluated.

A total of 130 patients completed the clinical assessment, of which 6 patients (4.6%) achieved clinical complete response, 87 patients (66.9%) achieved partial response, 30 patients (23.0%) achieved stable disease, and 7 patients (5.5%) experienced progressive disease.
