Integrative eQTL and Mendelian randomization analysis reveals key genetic markers in mesothelioma
This integrative eQTL and Mendelian randomization analysis provides evidence of a positive causal association between 14 key co-expressed genes and mesothelioma genetically. These disease critical genes are implicated in correlations with biological processes and infiltrated immune cells related to mesothelioma. Moreover, our study lays a theoretical foundation for further research into the mechanisms of mesothelioma and potential clinical applications.
