Gene association analysis to determine the causal relationship between immune-mediated inflammatory diseases and frozen shoulder.

ABSTRACT: Multiple studies have indicated a potential correlation between immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) and Frozen shoulder (FS). To explore the genetic causal relationship between IMIDs and FS using 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data for FS were obtained from Green's study, while data for 10 IMIDs were sourced from the FinnGen Consortium. The MR analysis was performed using inverse variance weighting, MR Egger, and weighted median methods. IVW, as the primary MR analysis technique, was complemented with other sensitivity analyses to validate the robustness of the results. Additionally, reverse MR analysis was further conducted to investigate the presence of reverse causal relationships. In the forward MR analysis, geneti
