摘要
目的:耳鸣影响着全世界数百万人。其神经机制尚不清楚。本研究旨在利用孟德尔随机化(MR)分析探讨脑功能网络与耳鸣风险之间的因果关系。方法:我们使用静息状态功能磁共振成像(rs-fMRI)的大脑活动数据和全基因组关联研究(GWAS)的遗传数据进行MR分析。总共有191个大脑特征,包括振幅特征和功能连接测量,是根据它们的遗传关联选择的。结果:正向磁共振分析显示,顶叶和下额叶区域活动的增加与耳鸣风险降低41%相关(OR = 0.59, p = 1.8 × 10-4)。相比之下,楔前叶、角回和额叶区域活动增加与耳鸣风险增加49%相关(OR = 1.49, p = 8.9 × 10-4)。顶叶和下额区的活动与耳鸣风险呈负相关(OR = 0.72, p = 0.0037)。此外,顶叶、额叶和颞叶区域较高的活动使风险增加了一倍(OR = 2.02, p = 0.015)。反向MR显示,额叶和颞叶区域之间更强的连通性与耳鸣风险呈负相关(β = - 0.056, p = 0.049)。结论:特定的大脑活动和连接模式与耳鸣有因果关系。
Based on the resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging reveals the causal relationship between the brain function network and the risk of tinnitus: a bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis.
Objectives: Tinnitus affects millions worldwide. Its neural mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the causal relationships between brain functional networks and tinnitus risk using Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses.
Methods: We performed MR analyses using brain activity data from resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and genetic data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). A total of 191 brain features, including amplitude traits and functional connectivity measures, were selected based on their genetic associations.
Results: Forward MR analyses showed that increased activity in the parietal and inferior frontal regions was associated with a 41% reduction in tinnitus risk (OR = 0.59, p = 1.8 × 10-4). In contrast, increased activity in the precuneus, angular gyrus, and frontal areas was linked to a 49% increase in tinnitus risk (OR = 1.49, p = 8.9 × 10-4). Activities in the parietal and inferior frontal regions were negatively correlated with tinnitus risk (OR = 0.72, p = 0.0037). Additionally, higher activity in the parietal, frontal, and temporal regions doubled the risk (OR = 2.02, p = 0.015). Reverse MR showed that stronger connectivity between frontal and temporal regions was inversely related to tinnitus risk (beta = - 0.056, p = 0.049).
Conclusions: Specific brain activity and connectivity patterns are causally linked to tinnitus.
