Causal association between Helicobacter pylori infection and Sjogren’s syndrome: a bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis
The results of MR analysis support a causal association between H. pylori infection and SS and indicate that SS can lead to a greater risk of H. pylori infection. Our research will support the development of novel approaches for continued H. pylori and SS-related research and therapy that consider the genetic relationship between H. pylori infection and SS.
