To explore the bidirectional causal relationship between multiple sclerosis (MS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
The dataset was pooled by genome-wide association studies (GWAS), of which MS data contained 14 498 samples and IBD data contained 24 865 samples, including 6 968 cases of ulcerative colitis (UC) and 17 897 cases of Crohn’s disease (CD). Random effect inverse variance weighting (IVW), weighted median (WME), MR-Egger regression, and weighted model were used for MR Analysis.
MS was found to increase the risk of UC (IVW: OR=1.108; 95% CI: 1.012-1.213; P<0.05), but not associated with the risk of CD (IVW: OR=1.021; 95% CI: 0.926-1.127; P>0.05); UC also increased the risk of MS, and the two were causal (IVW: OR=1.096; 95% CI: 1.027-1.169; P<0.05), and CD was associated with an increased risk of MS (IVW: OR=1.133; 95% CI: 1.003-1.279; P<0.05). After the MR-Egger regression intercept item test, it was found that there was no horizontal pleiotropy (P>0.05). The heterogeneity test results were all <0.001, so we should pay more attention to the random effects IVW model.
MS is associated with an increased risk of UC, but the effect on CD is not significant. IBD increases the risk of developing MS.
