Abstract Objective The causes and triggering factors of epilepsy are still unknown. The results of genome‐wide association studies can be utilized for a phenome‐wide association study using Mendelian randomization (MR) to identify potential risk factors for epilepsy. Methods This study utilizes two‐sample MR analysis to investigate whether 316 phenotypes, including lifestyle, environmental factors, blood biomarker, and more, are causally associated with the occurrence of epilepsy. The primary analysis employed the inverse variance weighted (IVW) model, while complementary MR analysis methods (MR Egger, Wald ratio) were also employed. Sensitivity analyses were also conducted to evaluate heterogeneity and pleiotropy. Results There was no evidence of a statistically significant causal association between the examined phenotypes and epilepsy following Bonferroni correction (p 0.05). Conclusions Our study provides additional insights into the underlying causes of epilepsy, which will serve as evidence for the prevention and control of epilepsy. The associations observed in epidemiological studies may be partially attributed to shared biological factors or lifestyle confounders. |
