However, the causal relationship between gut microbiota and urological cancers remains to be elucidated due to many confounding factors. Methods: In this study, we used two thresholds to identify gut microbiota GWAS from the MiBioGen consortium and obtained data for five urological cancers from the UK biobank and Finngen consortium, respectively. We then performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis with Wald ratio or inverse variance weighted as the main method. We also performed comprehensive sensitivity analyses to verify the robustness of the results. In addition, we performed a reverse MR analysis to examine the direction of causality. Results: Our study found that family Rikenellaceae, genus Allisonella, genus Lachnospiraceae UCG001, genus Oscillibacter, genus Eubacterium coprostanoligenes group, genus Eubacterium ruminantium group, genus Ruminococcaceae UCG013, and genus Senegalimassilia were related to bladder cancer; genus Ruminococcus torques group, genus Oscillibacter, genus Barnesiella, genus Butyricicoccus, and genus Ruminococcaceae UCG005 were related to prostate cancer; class Alphaproteobacteria, class Bacilli, family Family XI, genus Coprococcus2, genus Intestinimonas, genus Lachnoclostridium, genus Lactococcus, genus Ruminococcus torques group, and genus Eubacterium brachy group were related to renal cell cancer; family Clostridiaceae 1, family Christensenellaceae, genus Eubacterium coprostanoligenes group, genus Clostridium sensu stricto 1, and genus Eubacterium eligens group were related to renal pelvis cancer; family Peptostreptococcaceae, genus Romboutsia, and genus Subdoligranulum were related to testicular cancer. Comprehensive sensitivity analyses proved that our results were reliable. Conclusions: Our study confirms the role of specific gut microbial taxa on urological cancers, explores the mechanism of gut microbiota on urological cancers from a macroscopic level, provides potential targets for the screening and treatment of urological cancers, and is dedicated to providing new ideas for clinical research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu15184086","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,21]],"date-time":"2023-09-21T21:16:49Z","timestamp":1695331009000},"page":"4086","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":47,"title":["A Large Genetic Causal Analysis of the Gut Microbiota and Urological Cancers: A Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Zhaofa","family":"Yin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Institute of Urology (Laboratory of Reconstructive Urology), National Clinical Research Center for Geriatrics, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, No. 37 Guo Xue Xiang, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bohan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Institute of Urology (Laboratory of Reconstructive Urology), National Clinical Research Center for Geriatrics, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, No. 37 Guo Xue Xiang, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shijian","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Institute of Urology (Laboratory of Reconstructive Urology), National Clinical Research Center for Geriatrics, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, No. 37 Guo Xue Xiang, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yushi","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Institute of Urology (Laboratory of Reconstructive Urology), National Clinical Research Center for Geriatrics, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, No. 37 Guo Xue Xiang, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cai","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Institute of Urology (Laboratory of Reconstructive Urology), National Clinical Research Center for Geriatrics, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, No. 37 Guo Xue Xiang, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pengan","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Institute of Urology (Laboratory of Reconstructive Urology), National Clinical Research Center for Geriatrics, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, No. 37 Guo Xue Xiang, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinyi","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Institute of Urology (Laboratory of Reconstructive Urology), National Clinical Research Center for Geriatrics, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, No. 37 Guo Xue Xiang, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8289-2791","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kunjie","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Institute of Urology (Laboratory of Reconstructive Urology), National Clinical Research Center for Geriatrics, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, No. 37 Guo Xue Xiang, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"505","DOI":"10.1001\/jamaoncol.2015.0735","article-title":"The Global Burden of Cancer 2013","volume":"1","author":"Fitzmaurice","year":"2015","journal-title":"JAMA Oncol."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"209","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21660","article-title":"Global Cancer Statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN Estimates of Incidence and Mortality Worldwide for 36 Cancers in 185 Countries","volume":"71","author":"Sung","year":"2021","journal-title":"CA A Cancer J.
