The role of immune cells in multiple myeloma: a bidirectional Mendelian randomization study
Our study provides preliminary evidence for potential causal links between specific immune traits and MM risk. Independent replication in larger cohorts and functional validation are warranted given the nominal significance of these associations, which may inform future immunotherapeutic investigations. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the complex immune - MM interplay and may guide future investigations into immunotherapeutic approaches.
