OBJECTIVE: To determine whether adiponectin levels and the risk of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) were causally related, a two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) study design was used.

METHODS: We obtained data regarding adiponectin from the UK Biobank genome wide association studies (GWAS) (n = 39,883) as the exposure and TN, using GWAS summary statistics generated from FinnGen, (total n = 195 847 159; case = 800, control = 195 047) as the outcome. We conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis employing inverse variance-weighted (IVW), MR-Egger regression, weighted median, and weighted mode analyses.

RESULTS: We selected 14 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with genome-wide significance from the GWAS on adiponectin as instrumental variables. Based on the IVW method, a causal association between adiponectin levels and TN was evidenced (OR= 0.577, 95 %CI: 0.393-0.847). MR-Egger regression revealed that directional pleiotropy was unlikely to be biasing the result (intercept = -0.01; P = 0.663), but it showed no causal association between adiponectin and TN (OR=0.627, 95 %CI: 0.369-1.067). However, the weighted median (OR=0.569, 95 %CI: 0.353-0.917) and Weighted mode (OR= 0.586, 95 %CI: 0.376-0.916) approach yielded evidence of a causal association between adiponectin and TN. Cochran's Q-statistics and funnel plots indicated no evidence of heterogeneity or asymmetry, indicating no directional pleiotropy.

CONCLUSION: The results of the MR analysis suggested that adiponectin may be causally associated with an increased TN risk.
