| More Details: | Introduction It is currently uncertain whether smoking is a risk factor for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). This study aims to elucidate association between smoking and CTS using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Methods This study was a secondary analysis of publicly available GWAS data, using four smoking phenotypes (smoking initiation, smoking status, lifetime smoking, and never smoking) as exposures, and two CTS datasets (discovery and validation sets) as outcomes for MR analysis. The discovery set (n=480201) was used to explore the causal relationship between smoking and CTS, while the validation set (n=385304) was used to confirm the results. The effects of smoking on CTS were assessed using inverse variance weighted (IVW), MR-Egger, and weighted median methods. Cochran’s Q test was used to detect heterogeneity, and MREgger to test for pleiotropy. Finally, a meta-analysis was performed on the IVW results from both the discovery and validation sets. Results IVW results showed that in both the discovery and validation sets, smoking initiation, smoking status, and lifetime smoking are risk factors for CTS. The summary results from the meta-analysis are as follows: smoking initiation (OR=1.17; 95% CI: 1.08–1.27, p |
