Plasma ghrelin and risks of sex-specific, site-specific, and early-onset colorectal cancer: A Mendelian randomization analysis.
Background: Epidemiological and laboratory-based studies have provided conflicting evidence for a role of ghrelin in colorectal cancer (CRC) development. We conducted two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses to evaluate evidence for an association of circulating ghrelin and CRC risk overall and by sex, cancer subsite and age at diagnosis.
Methods: Genetic instruments proxying plasma total ghrelin levels were obtained from a recent genome-wide association study of 54,219 participants. Summary data for CRC risk were obtained from a recent meta-analysis of several genetic consortia (up to 73,673 cases and 86,854 controls). A two-sample MR approach and several sensitivity analyses were applied.
Results: We found no evidence for an association of genetically-predicted plasma total ghrelin levels and CRC risk (0.95, 95% confidence interval: 0.81-1.12; R2 of ghrelin genetic instruments: 4.6%), with similarly null results observed when stratified by sex, anatomical subsite, and for early-onset CRC.
Conclusions: Our study suggests that plasma ghrelin levels are unlikely to have a causal relationship with overall, early-onset, and sex- and cancer subsite-stratified CRC risk.
Impact: This large-scale analysis adds to the growing body of evidence that plasma total ghrelin levels are not associated with CRC risk.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention publishes original peer-reviewed, population-based research on cancer etiology, prevention, surveillance, and survivorship. The following topics are of special interest: descriptive, analytical, and molecular epidemiology; biomarkers including assay development, validation, and application; chemoprevention and other types of prevention research in the context of descriptive and observational studies; the role of behavioral factors in cancer etiology and prevention; survivorship studies; risk factors; implementation science and cancer care delivery; and the science of cancer health disparities. Besides welcoming manuscripts that address individual subjects in any of the relevant disciplines, CEBP editors encourage the submission of manuscripts with a transdisciplinary approach.
