Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by fluctuating muscle weakness. Despite the availability of established therapies, the management of MG symptoms remains suboptimal, partially attributed to lack of efficacy or intolerable side-effects. Therefore, new effective drugs are warranted for treatment of MG.By employing an analytical framework that combines Mendelian randomization (MR) and colocalization analysis, we estimate the causal effects of blood druggable expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) and protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs) on the susceptibility of MG. We subsequently investigated whether potential genetic effects exhibit cell-type specificity by utilizing genetic colocalization analysis to assess the interplay between immune-cell-specific eQTLs and MG risk.We identified significant MR results for four genes (CDC42BPB, CD226, PRSS36, and TNFSF12) using cis-eQTL genetic instruments and three proteins (CTSH, PRSS8, and CPN2) using cis-pQTL genetic instruments. Six of these loci demonstrated evidence of colocalization with MG susceptibility (posterior probability > 0.80). We next undertook genetic colocalization to investigate cell-type-specific effects at these loci. Notably, we identified robust evidence of colocalization, with a posterior probability of 0.854, linking CTSH expression in TH2 cells and MG risk.This study provides crucial insights into the genetic and molecular factors associated with MG susceptibility, singling out CTSH as a potential candidate for in-depth investigation and clinical consideration. It additionally sheds light on the immune-cell regulatory mechanisms related to the disease. However, further research is imperative to validate these targets and evaluate their feasibility for drug development.© 2024. The Author(s).
