ObjectiveThis study utilizes small-sample periodontitis data to exploratively investigate causal relationships between the oral microbiome and periodontitis in East Asian populations. We aimed to identify specific oral microbial taxa that may drive disease pathogenesis. Given the exploratory nature of the dataset, findings should be interpreted as hypothesis-generating. MethodsWe performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary stat...
