To investigate the causal relationships between immune cell characteristics and prostatitis.
Conducted a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization study.
Utilized genetic variants as instrumental variables to examine associations.
Analyzed immune cell profiles in relation to prostatitis outcomes.
Found significant associations between immune cell characteristics and prostatitis.
Identified specific immune profiles potentially linked to prostatitis development.
Abstract
Our results suggest important associations between prostatitis and immune cell profiles, shedding light on the immune-related etiologies and phenotypes in prostatitis.
