| Description | BACKGROUND: Clinical observations and retrospective studies have observed that patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) have an increased probability of dental erosion, periodontitis and oral mucosal lesions and other common oral lesions. However, whether there is a genetic causal relationship between GERD and the occurrence of oral lesions has not been reported. Methods: In this study, we extracted instrumental variables from the largest published summary statistics of the oral lesion phenotype GWAS in UK Biobank (UKBB) and GERD GWAS. Then, we performed a causal inference analysis between GERD and common oral lesions by mendelian randomization analysis with the R package “TwoSampleMR”. Results: We observed a significant causal relationship between GERD and several common oral lesion phenotypes (painful gums, loose teeth, toothache, and mouth ulcers). GERD showed a positive correlation with the occurrence of these oral lesions. After removing outlier SNPs via the MR-PRESSO package, our conclusions were still robust. Conclusions: Our findings provide the first evidence for a genetic causal effect of GERD on oral lesion pathogenesis. For patients with confirmed GERD, attention should be paid to taking interventions to prevent the occurrence of oral lesions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
