Genes, Vol. 14, Pages 1844: Association between Gastric Cancer and 12 Autoimmune Diseases: A Mendelian Randomization Study

Conclusion: Our study did not find a genetic causal relationship between susceptibility to these autoimmune diseases and GC, which suggests that unmeasured confounders (e.g., inflammatory processes) or shared genetic architecture may be responsible for the reported epidemiologic associations. Further studies of ancestral diversity are warranted to validate such causal associations.
