Additionally, the potential role of inflammatory cytokines in modulating this association was explored. Instrumental variables were derived from genetic variants associated with OLP (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009377,277) identified in Finngen R9 datasets, with 41 inflammatory cytokines as potential mediators, and OCC (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20094,151) as the outcome variable. Analytical methods including Inverse Variance Weighted (IVW), Weighted Median, MR-Egger, and MR-PRESSO were utilized to assess the causal links among OLP, inflammatory cytokines, and OCC risk. Multivariable MR (MVMR) was then applied to quantify the mediating effects of these cytokines in the relationship between OLP and increased OCC risk.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>MR analysis provided strong evidence of a causal relationship between OLP (OR\u2009=\u20091.417, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.167\u20131.721, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and the risk of OCC. Furthermore, two inflammatory cytokines significantly influenced by OLP, IL-13 (OR\u2009=\u20091.088, 95% CI: 1.007\u20131.175, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.032) and IL-9 (OR\u2009=\u20091.085, 95% CI: 1.005\u20131.171, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.037), were identified.
