摘要: 孟德尔随机化(Mendelian Randomization, MR)作为一种基于遗传变异的因果推断方法,近年来在子宫内膜癌的风险因素研究中获得广泛应用。文章综述了孟德尔随机化方法在子宫内膜癌风险因素中的应用进展,以期为子宫内膜癌因果关系的研究提供新思路。
Abstract: Mendelian Randomization (MR), as a genetic variant-based causal inference method, has been widely applied in recent years to the study of risk factors for endometrial cancer. This article reviews the progress in the application of the Mendelian Randomization method to the investigation of risk factors for endometrial cancer, aiming to provide new insights for research into causal relationships in endometrial cancer.
