Abstract
Although various aspects of cisplatin resistance have been studied, the impact of genetic variations still needs to be explored. This study aimed to investigate the impact of cisplatin on meningiomas using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach, employing genetic variants associated with cisplatin use as instrumental variables. We conducted a two-sample MR analysis using genome-wide association study (GWAS) data. Instrumental variables were derived from single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with meningioma to estimate the causal relationship with cisplatin resistance. Sensitivity analyses were performed to confirm the findings. Genetic predisposition to meningioma significantly increased the risk of cisplatin resistance (odds ratio (OR): 1.63; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.44-1.85, P < 0.05). Sensitivity analyses supported the causal link. This MR study suggests that genetic predisposition to meningioma increases susceptibility to cisplatin resistance. Further research is needed to uncover the mechanisms behind these causal effects.
