Genetic relationships between the gut microbiota and prostate cancer: Mendelian randomization combined with bioinformatics analysis

Key Points

• The study investigates the genetic connections between gut microbiota and the risk of prostate cancer.
• Used mendelian randomization to analyze genetic data.
• Applied bioinformatics analysis to identify key features related to prostate cancer.
• Examined how feature genes influence cellular processes associated with cancer.
• Identified causal relationships between gut microbiota and prostate cancer.
• Found that specific genes may help inhibit cancer-related cellular activities like migration and invasion.
