The causal effects of placental weight on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: a Mendelian randomization and mediation analysis.
Introduction: Previous studies have linked placental weight (PW) to cardiovascular diseases, but the causality and potential mediators underlying this relationship are still unknown.
Material and methods: We conducted Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis via summary statistics from genome-wide association studies (GWAS), including PW adjusted for sex, 21 candidate mediators and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), which includes coronary heart disease (CHD) and ischemic stroke (IS). Two-step MR was employed to identify and assess the mediation and proportion of potential mediators in the association between PW and ASCVD. Additionally, we conducted a repeated analysis using PW adjusted for gestational age and sex.
Results: Univariable MR (UVMR) analysis revealed that for each 1-SD decrease in fetal genotype-determined PW adjusted for sex only, the risk of CHD increased by 24% (95% CI: 1.05-1.46) and the risk of large artery stroke (LAS) increased by 46% (95% CI: 1.13-1.89). Similar results were obtained in repeated analyses. The mediation MR analysis revealed that the causal relationship between fetal genotype-determined PW and CHD risk was primarily mediated by birthweight, type 2 diabetes, and education, each mediating 3.66% to 40.80% of the total effect. The causal relationship between fetal genotype-determined PW and LAS risk was mediated mainly by type 2 diabetes, which accounted for 22.11% of the total effect.
Conclusions: This study identified a unidirectional causal relationship between lower PW and a greater ASCVD risk, with factors such as birthweight, type 2 diabetes, and education mediating the association between PW and ASCVD.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Medical Science (AMS) publishes high quality original articles and reviews of recognized scientists that deal with all scientific medicine. AMS opens the possibilities for young, capable scientists. The journal would like to give them a chance to have a publication following matter-of-fact, professional review by outstanding, famous medical scientists. Thanks to that they will have an opportunity to present their study results and/or receive useful advice about the mistakes they have made so far.
The second equally important aim is a presentation of review manuscripts of recognized scientists about the educational capacity, in order that young scientists, often at the beginning of their scientific carrier, could constantly deepen their medical knowledge and be up-to-date with current guidelines and trends in world-wide medicine. The fact that our educational articles are written by world-famous scientists determines their innovation and the highest quality.
