TL;DR
This study explores the genetic links between autoimmune diseases and pulmonary hypertension, finding shared risk factors and potential causal relationships.
Contribution
The study identifies specific autoimmune diseases genetically correlated with pulmonary hypertension and suggests possible causal directions.
Findings
Type 1 diabetes mellitus and primary biliary cholangitis show significant genetic correlation with pulmonary hypertension.
Pulmonary hypertension may trigger the development of systemic lupus erythematosus according to reverse MR analysis.
Rheumatoid arthritis is associated with an increased risk of pulmonary hypertension in real-world data.
Abstract
Background: The causal relationship between various prevalent autoimmune diseases (ADs) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) has yet to be fully understood, and the contribution of genetic factors to their coexistence remains largely unexplored. Methods: We utilized Post-GWAS and the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) database to investigate the relationship between autoimmune diseases and PH. Results: After a series of MR Analyses, only Type 1 diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) (OR = 1.06, 95% CI 0.99-1.13, P = 0.083; OR = 1.07, 95% CI 1.02-1.13, P = 0.005) and primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) (OR = 1.10, 95% CI 1.05-1.15, P = 8.22E-5; OR = 1.08, 95% CI 1.03-1.14, P = 0.002) emerged as significantly correlated with PH. Additionally, reverse MR indicated that PH could trigger the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (OR=1.090, 95% CI = 1.014-1.171, P = 0.014). An…
