Potential drug targets for gastroesophageal reflux disease and Barrett’s esophagus identified through Mendelian randomization analysis
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a prevalent chronic ailment, and present therapeutic approaches are not always effective. This study aimed to find new drug targets for GERD and Barrett’s esophagus (BE). We obtained genetic instruments for GERD, BE, and 2004 plasma proteins from recently published genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and Mendelian randomization (MR) was employed to explore potential drug targets.
New study links legume consumption to lower risk of colorectal cancer
In a recent study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers collated and analyzed 12 studies comprising more than 17 years’ worth of case-control experiments aimed at elucidating site-specific cancer outcomes of legume consumption.
