Abstract
Digestive disorders are a significant contributor to the global burden of disease and seriously affect human quality of life. Research has already confirmed the presence of pleiotropic genetic loci among digestive disorders, and studies have explored shared genetic factors among pan-cancers, including various malignant digestive disorders. However, most cross-phenotype studies within the digestive tract system have been limited to a few traits, with no systematic coverage of common benign and malignant digestive disorders. Here, we analyzed data from the UK Biobank to investigate 21 digestive disorders, exploring the genetic correlations and causal relationships between diseases, as well as the common genetic factors and potential biological pathways driving these relationships. Our findings confirmed the extensive genetic correlation and causal relationship between digestive disorders, providing important insights into the genetic etiology, causality, disease prevention, and clinical treatment of diseases.</p>
