However, whether there is a causal relationship between the two is unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the causality of IBD on ocular manifestations using the mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We performed a two-sample MR analysis with public genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data. Eligible instrumental variables (IVs) were selected according to the three assumptions of MR analysis. The inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method was the main method. Complementary methods included the MR-Egger regression, the Weighted Median, the Weighted Mode and MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO) methods.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After false discovery rate (FDR) correction, genetically predicted IBD (IVW OR =\u2009 1.184, 95% CI: 1.125-1.247, P_FDR &lt;\u2009 0.001), Crohn\u2019s disease (CD, IVW OR =\u2009 1.082, 95% CI: 1.033-1.133, P_FDR =\u2009 0.007) and ulcerative colitis (UC, IVW OR =\u2009 1.192, 95% CI: 1.114-1.275, P_FDR &lt;\u2009 0.001) were associated with an increased risk of iridocyclitis. Moreover, IBD (IVW OR =\u2009 1.128, 95% CI: 1.064-1.196, P_FDR =\u2009 0.001), CD (IVW OR =\u2009 1.077, 95% CI: 1.026-1.131, P_FDR =\u2009 0.019) and UC (IVW OR =\u2009 1.153, 95% CI: 1.069-1.243, P_FDR = 0.003) were associated with a higher risk of uveitis (uveitis includes iridocyclitis). Further sensitivity analyses validated the robustness of the above associations. However, IBD and its subtypes were not associated with scleritis, episcleritis, optic neuritis and corneal disease. Results of complementary methods were generally consistent with those of the IVW method.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our study revealed genetically predicted associations of IBD, CD and UC on iridocyclitis and uveitis in European populations.
