This study utilized Mendelian randomization (MR) to explore the causal impact of circulating inflammatory markers on PVT.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Employing a two-sample MR framework, we merged genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis findings of 91 inflammation-associated proteins with independent PVT data from the FinnGen consortium's R10 release. A replication analysis was performed using a distinct GWAS dataset from the UK Biobank. Inverse variance weighting, MR-Egger regression, weighted median estimator, and Mendelian Randomization Pleiotropy RESidual Sum and Outlier were used for analysis, supplemented by multivariable MR (MVMR) to adjust for cirrhosis effects.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Findings indicate a significant inverse association between the genetically inferred concentration of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) and PVT risk, evidenced by an odds ratio (OR) of 0.37 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.21\u20130.67; p\u2009=\u20099.2\u2009\u00d7\u200910\u22124; adjusted for multiple testing p\u2009=\u20090.084).
