BackgroundResearch links arthropathies with adverse pregnancy outcomes. This study aims to explore its connection to postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) through Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.MethodsThe study used GWAS data from the IEU OpenGWAS database for PPH and arthropathies. After selecting instrumental variables, bidirectional MR analysis was conducted using MR-Egger, Weighted median, Simple mode, Weighted mode, and IVW methods. Sensitivity analysis was then performed to assess MR results reliability. Finally, enrichment analysis of genes corresponding to arthropathies SNPs in forward MR was conducted to explore their biological function and signaling pathways.ResultsThe forward MR results revealed that arthropathies was causally related to PPH, and arthropathies was a risk factor for PPH. Whereas, there was not a causal relationship between PPH and arthropathies by reverse MR analysis. It illustrated the reliability of the MR analysis results by the sensitivity analysis without heterogeneity, horizontal pleiotropy, and SNPs of severe bias by LOO analysis. Furthermore, a total of 33 genes corresponding to SNPs of arthropathies were obtained, which were mainly enriched in regulation of response to biotic stimulus, spliceosomal snRNP complex and ligase activity in GO terms, and natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity in KEGG pathways.ConclusionThis study supported that arthropathies was a risk factor for PPH, and the pathways involved the genes corresponding to SNPs were analyzed, which could provide important reference and evidence for further exploring the molecular mechanism between arthropathies and PPH.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
