Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a prevalent inflammatory airway disease affecting over 10% of the global population, leading to considerable socio-economic impacts, especially in developing countries. The pathogenesis CRS multifactorial, involving potential contributions from both genetic and environmental factors. While influence allergic autoimmune diseases on has been observed, causal relationships between these remain unclear. We extracted data large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) utilized bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis explore ten diseases, including asthma, rhinitis (AR), atopic dermatitis (AD), psoriasis, type 1 diabetes (T1D), hypothyroidism, celiac (CeD), multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Additionally, we conducted colocalization determine whether allergic/autoimmune showing statistical with are driven by same variants. MR identified that AR (OR = 1.30; 95% CI 1.21-1.40; P 3.26E-13), asthma 1.35; 1.25-1.45; 1.35E-14), AD 1.17; 1.06-1.30; 0.003) were significantly associated an increased risk CRS. Interestingly, psoriasis 0.05; 0.01-0.37; 0.004) appeared have protective effect against Associations for T1D hypothyroidism also suggestive as factors No significant associations reverse analysis, suggesting one-directional relationship. Colocalization indicated (PP.H4 0.99) shared variant (IL-33 rs3939286) In conclusion, our study confirmed (AR, AD, psoriasis) Notably, variant, rs3939286 IL-33 gene, CRS, targeting pathway may provide therapeutic strategy diseases.
