BackgroundSystematically assessing the causal associations between medications and neurodegenerative diseases is significant in identifying disease etiology and novel therapies. Here, we investigated the putative causal associations between 23 existing medication categories and major neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).MethodsA two-sample mendelian randomization (MR) approach was conducted. Estimates were calculated using the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method as the main model. A sensitivity analysis and a pleiotropy analysis were performed to identify potential violations.ResultsGenetically predisposition to antihypertensives (OR = 0.809, 95% CI = 0.668-0.981, p = 0.031), thyroid preparations (OR = 0.948, 95% CI = 0.909-0.988, p = 0.011), and immunosuppressants (OR = 0.879, 95% CI = 0.789-0.979, p = 0.018) was associated with a decreased risk of AD. Genetic proxies for thyroid preparations (OR = 0.934, 95% CI = 0.884-0.988, p = 0.017), immunosuppressants (OR = 0.825, 95% CI = 0.699-0.973, p = 0.022), and glucocorticoids (OR = 0.862, 95% CI = 0.756-0.983, p = 0.027) were causally associated with a decreased risk of PD. Genetically determined antithrombotic agents (OR = 1.234, 95% CI = 1.042-1.461, p = 0.015), HMG CoA reductase inhibitors (OR = 1.085, 95% CI = 1.025-1.148, p = 0.005), and salicylic acid and derivatives (OR = 1.294, 95% CI = 1.078-1.553, p = 0.006) were associated with an increased risk of ALS.ConclusionsWe presented a systematic view concerning the causal associations between medications and NDs, which will promote the etiology discovery, drug repositioning and patient management for NDs.
