- Abstract
Purpose: The simultaneous occurrence of primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) and autoimmune diseases has been noted and debated in some epidemiological research. This bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study aimed to investigate the causal relationships between autoimmune diseases and POI. Methods: We obtained summary-level data for ten autoimmune diseases and POI from published large-scale genome-wide association studies and the FinnGen consortium of European ancestry. A series of filtering steps was performed to discern independent genetic variants. Causal estimates were mainly calculated by the inverse variance weighting method and verified through multiple sensitivity analyses. Results: Of the ten autoimmune diseases, genetically predicted Addison's disease (odds ratio [OR] = 1.26, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.09–1.47, P = 0.003) and systemic lupus erythematosus (OR = 1.12, 95% CI 1.02–1.24, P = 0.021) were associated with an increased risk of POI, and sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of the results. In addition, there were weak associations between liability to POI and elevated risks of type 1 diabetes (OR = 1.05, 95% CI 1.00–1.10, P = 0.046) and autoimmune thyroid disease (OR = 1.03, 95% CI 1.01–1.05, P = 0.015). Conclusion: This study revealed that Addison's disease and systemic lupus erythematosus are potential risk factors for POI, underscoring the necessity to consider the impact of autoimmune factors in the diagnosis and treatment of POI.
