研究问题
We set out to distinguish these explanations and to identify the features of the analysis that determine the answer.
方法
We used variants identified in a genome-wide study of anti-H. pylori IgG antibody titre in six Japanese cohorts contributing fourteen datasets [27] (125,178 participants).；In that study, titre was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (E-Plate Eiken H. pylori antibody, Eiken Chemical, Tokyo, Japan) or by latex agglutination turbidimetry (H. pylori-latex Seiken, Denka Seiken, Tokyo, Japan) and, because the distribution of titre is strongly skewed, it was dichotomised at a cohort-specific cut-off, either the top quartile of the titre distribution or 3 U/mL.；The combined meta-analysis from which our instruments are taken compared 37,410 participants above that cut-off with 87,768 below it, a case fraction of 29.9%.
核心结论
Using all available proxies, higher genetically predicted anti-H. pylori IgG seropositivity was associated with lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease (OR 0.83, 95% CI 0.73 to 0.95), and the point estimate for Parkinson’s disease lay in the same direction without reaching conventional significance (0.83, 0.65 to 1.06).；Minimum detectable odds ratios, calculated from the observed standard errors at 80% power and a two-sided alpha of 0.05, were 0.77 for Alzheimer’s disease, 0.79 for clinically ascertained Alzheimer’s disease, 0.17 for East Asian Parkinson’s disease and 0.33 for European Parkinson’s disease using variants outside the MHC.；In clinically ascertained Alzheimer’s disease, the class II estimate was itself imprecise (OR 0.78, p = 0.088), so it does not provide a confirmed association against which to interpret the non-MHC result. ‖ 结论：In conclusion, the reported inverse genetic associations of anti-H. pylori IgG seropositivity with Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases do not provide evidence that H. pylori infection protects against neurodegeneration.
局限
Full summary statistics for the exposure have not been released, so we used reported values for lead variants, and the assignment of classical HLA alleles warrants separate scrutiny.；We applied proxies derived in a Japanese population to European outcomes, which is both the subject of this paper and a limitation, and the tag variants represent classical alleles imperfectly and differently across populations.；For multiple sclerosis, we report single-variant associations rather than a pooled estimate because heterogeneity exceeded 99% and the direction changed with the proxies included.

本文属人体研究证据，但需注意：观察性或小样本干预的结论不等于已证实临床获益；效应量与长期安全性仍需更大规模、更长随访的试验验证。
