BACKGROUND AND AIM: Previous experimental and observational studies showed that serum uric acid (SUA) was associated with deep venous thrombosis (DVT), but the causal relationship is unclear. This study aimed to explore the potential causal association between SUA and DVT.

METHODS AND RESULTS: We designed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis by using summary-level data from large genome-wide association studies performed in European individuals. A total of 14 SUA-related single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (P value < 5 × 10-8) were identified as instrumental variables. The inverse variance weighted method was used as the primary method to compute the odds ratios (ORs) and 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CIs) for per standard deviation increase in SUA. MR Egger, weighted median, weighted mode, and simple mode were also applied to test the robustness of the results. We found no significant causal effects of serum uric acid on deep venous thrombosis (odds ratio [OR]: 1.000, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 0.998-1.002, p = 0.78) by using inverse variance weighted. MR analyses based on other methods showed similar results.

CONCLUSIONS: There was no potential causal associations between higher genetically predicted SUA levels and increased risk of deep venous thrombosis. Further, MR studies with more valid SNPs and more DVT cases are needed. Validation of the findings is also recommended.
