Causal inference of the effect of plasma proteins on the incidence of oral cancer: two-sample Mendelian randomization
This two-sample MR study provides evidence for potentially causal effects of several plasma proteins on oral cancer risk. The identified proteins may serve as biomarkers and shed light on biological mechanisms underlying oral carcinogenesis. Further research is warranted to validate and extend these findings.
