IntroductionMyopia is a leading cause of visual impairment worldwide, whose pathogenesis remains poorly understood. Identification of its risk factors would benefit the management and treatment of myopia. MethodsWe comprehensively performed phenome-wide Mendelian randomization analysis (MR-PheWAS) to explore causal factors and potential therapeutic targets for myopia in participants from the UK Biobank study. ResultsOur PheWAS revealed that 55 robust associations (1 disease, 2 employment, 3 cognitive functions, 4 sex-specific factors, 4 mental health factors, 5 lifestyle and environmental factors, 10 sociodemographic factors, 12 physical measures and 14 ocular measures/conditions) were significantly causally correlated with myopia. ConclusionsThe results indicate that myopia may be influenced by several factors, including serum metabolic traits, fatty acid intake, fat-related indices, mental health, as well as some previously acknowledged risk factors. Future clinical trials are needed to verify our results.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
