ABSTRACT

Background:

The intricate relationship among gut microbiota, serum metabolites, and immunophenotypes may significantly impact myocarditis. However, direct causal links between these domains and myocarditis are not well understood.

Methods:

The study performed Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using genetic data from public sources. Exposure data included 211 gut microbiota, 486 serum metabolites, and 731 immunophenotypes from Mibiogen, the Metabolomics GWAS server, and GWAS catalog databases. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected as instrumental variables based on established criteria. Myocarditis data from GWAS (427,911 participants, 24, 180, 570 SNPs) were used as the outcome variable. MR analysis was conducted using Inverse Variance Weighting (IVW), with Cochran's Q test for heterogeneity and Egger's intercept to assess horizontal pleiotropy.

Results:

9 gut microbiota, 10 serum metabolites, and 2 immunophenotypes were negatively associated with myocarditis risk. In contrast, 5 gut microbiota, 12 serum metabolites, and 7 immunophenotypes were positively associated with myocarditis risk (all, P < 0.05). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the stability of these results.

Conclusion:

This MR study suggests that gut microbiota, serum metabolites, and immunophenotypes may causally influence myocarditis risk. These findings provide genetic evidence for myocarditis etiology and could inform future precision prevention and treatment strategies.
