BackgroundThe causal relationship between Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Gastric Cancer (GC) remains unclear despite reports suggesting that MS, an autoimmune disease, may contribute to the development of various tumors. MethodsMendelian Randomization (MR) analysis was employed to explore the potential causal relationship between MS and GC. Subsequently, the GEO database was utilized to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that are commonly associated with both MS and GC, thereby revealing the shared molecular mechanisms underlying these two diseases. ResultsThe MR analysis indicated that MS significantly increased the risk of GC, demonstrating a positive causal effect. However, reverse analysis from GC to MS did not reveal any significant causal relationships. The sensitivity analysis supported the evidence of a positive causal effect of MS on GC. Transcriptomic data analysis identified shared DEGs between MS and GC, particularly those involved in immune regulation, stromal formation, and cell migration, suggesting that these genes operate through similar biological pathways in both diseases. ConclusionThese findings underscore the intricate interplay between autoimmune disorders and gastrointestinal malignancies, offering potential molecular targets for the personalized management of MS and GC prevention.

"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.
