Association between human blood metabolome and risk of myocarditis: a mendelian randomization study.

ABSTRACT: Myocarditis is a common disease of the cardiovascular and immune systems, but the relationship between relevant blood metabolites and the risk of myocarditis has not been well-established. To identify potential biometabolic markers associated with myocarditis, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study. We performed preliminary MR analysis using the inverse variance weighted (IVW) method, supplemented by MR-Egger, weighted median, and weighted mode methods to adjust for false discovery rate (FDR). Confounders were screened using the GWAS Catalog website. Sensitivity analyses included Cochrane Q-test, Egger regression, Mendelian Randomization Pleiotropy RESidual Sum and Outlier (MR-PRESSO), scatterplots, funnel plots, and forest plots. For genetic and directional analysis,
