Screening of LUSC-related genes using cis-pQTL. (A) Two genes are identified as risk factors (OR > 1) at the intersection of the discovery cohort (ieu_b_4953 dataset) and replication cohort (finngen_R10_c3_HEPATOCELLU-CARC-EXALLC dataset). (B) One gene is identified as protective factors (OR < 1) at the intersection of the discovery cohort (ieu_b_4953 dataset) and replication cohort (finngen_R10_c3_HEPATOCELLU-CARC-EXALLC dataset). (C) The MR analysis results of three intersecting genes in the discovery cohort. (D) The MR analysis results of three intersecting genes in the replication cohort.
