摘要:


文题释义:

孟德尔随机化:是流行病学研究中评估病因推断的数据分析技巧,它在非实验数据中,使用遗传变异作为工具变量来估计感兴趣的暴露因素与所关注结局之间的因果关系。
全基因组关联分析(Genome-wide association study,GWAS):是应用基因组中数以百万计的单核苷酸多态性为分子遗传标记,进行全基因组水平上的对照分析或相关性分析。


背景:多项临床研究观察表明肥胖与骨质疏松症之间存在密切关系,但肥胖与骨质疏松症之间是否存在遗传因果效应尚不清楚。

目的:利用大规模全基因组关联研究的汇总数据,通过孟德尔随机化分析探究肥胖和骨质疏松之间的关联。 
方法:肥胖数据来自人体特征遗传调查(GIANT)和英国生物样本库(UKBB)的汇总统计数据。骨质疏松症的数据来自从骨质疏松症遗传因素联盟(GeFOS)获得的2种骨密度表型:全身骨密度和跟骨骨密度。逆方差加权法为主要分析方法,基于Egger回归的孟德尔随机化法(Mendelian randomization method based on Egger regression,MR-Egger)和加权中位数法作为补充方法来计算肥胖遗传变异与骨质疏松症之间的因果关联。采用敏感性分析来验证结果的可靠性,利用Cochran’s Q检验分析结果的异质性,利用MR-Egger截距检验分析结果的水平多效性,留一法评估合并的逆方差加权法估计值是否具有潜在影响的单核苷酸多态性。 

结果与结论:①肥胖对骨质疏松症的影响:除身体质量指数与前臂骨密度外,身体质量指数、腰臀比、经身体质量指数调整的腰臀比与全身骨密度、跟骨骨密度、前臂骨密度、腰椎骨密度及股骨颈骨密度两两之间呈正向因果关系;进一步Meta分析显示,肥胖会增加骨密度的风险(OR=1.08,95%CI:1.05-1.11,P < 0.01);②骨质疏松症对肥胖的影响:除了前臂骨密度、腰椎骨密度作为暴露因素对肥胖有因果关系外,其他数据集均显示全身骨密度、跟骨骨密度、股骨颈骨密度与肥胖之间不呈现因果效应;进一步Meta分析显示,骨密度并不会增加肥胖的风险(OR=0.99,95%CI:0.98-1.01,P < 0.01)。③结果证实:肥胖与骨质疏松之间存在因果关系,即肥胖可能是骨质疏松症的危险性因素,但未发现骨质疏松症对于肥胖的因果关联。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Numerous clinical studies have suggested a close relationship between obesity and osteoporosis, but whether there is a genetic causal effect between obesity and osteoporosis remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the association between obesity and osteoporosis using summary data from a large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) through Mendelian randomization analysis.
METHODS: Obesity data were derived from summary statistics of the Genetic Investigation of Anthropometric Traits (GIANT) and the UK Biobank (UKBB). Osteoporosis data were obtained from the Genetic Factors for Osteoporosis (GeFOS) consortium, including two bone density phenotypes: total body bone mineral density (BMD) and heel BMD. The inverse variance-weighted method was the primary analysis, with the Mendelian randomization method based on Egger regression (MR-Egger) and weighted median method as supplementary approaches to calculate the causal association between genetic variations related to obesity and osteoporosis. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to validate the reliability of the results. Heterogeneity was assessed using Cochran’s Q test. Horizontal pleiotropy was assessed through the MR-Egger intercept test. Leave-one-out analysis was performed to evaluate the potential influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms on the combined inverse variance-weighted estimates.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Impact of obesity on osteoporosis: In addition to body mass index and forearm BMD, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, body mass index-adjusted waist-to-hip ratio, and whole-body body mass index, heel BMD, forearm BMD, lumbar spine BMD, and femoral neck BMD were causally related to each other. Further Meta-analysis revealed that obesity increased the risk of BMD  (odds ratio=1.07, 95% confidence interval: 1.03-1.12, P < 0.01). (2) Impact of osteoporosis on obesity: Apart from arm BMD and lumbar spine BMD as exposure factors showing causal relationships with obesity, other datasets indicated no causal effect between total body BMD, heel BMD, femoral neck BMD, and obesity. Additional meta-analysis demonstrated that BMD did not increase the risk of obesity (odds rate=0.99, 95% confidence interval: 0.98-1.01, P < 0.01 ). There is a causal relationship between obesity and osteoporosis, suggesting that obesity may be a risk factor for osteoporosis. However, no causal association is found between osteoporosis and obesity.
