It provides an approach to addressing questions of causality without many of the typical biases that impact the validity of traditional epidemiologic approaches. <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1177\/1745691610383505?journalCode=ppsa\">First proposed in 1986<\/a>, it\u00a0is a method of using measured variation in genes of known function to examine the causal effect of a modifiable exposure on the disease in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Observational_study\">observational studies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How was the research conducted:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The researchers used people\u2019s natural, randomly inherited genetic variations that affect the levels of bacteria within the human microbiome in a similar manner as a randomized trial, or observe whether people with a different genetic makeup, and consequently, different gut microbiome profiles, have a different risk of colorectal cancer. The team extracted data from 3,890 people who participated in the Flemish Gut Flora Project, the PopGen study, and the German Food Chain Plus study, along with 120,328 people from the international <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fredhutch.org\/en\/research\/divisions\/public-health-sciences-division\/research\/cancer-prevention\/genetics-epidemiology-colorectal-cancer-consortium-gecco.html\">Genetics and Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer Consortium <\/a>in a genome-wide association study (GWAS). They found a link between genetic variation in particular parts of the genome and the concentration of 13 types of gut bacteria, and that people with an unclassified type of bacteria belonging to the Bacteroidales group were more prone to develop bowel cancer than others who did not have the bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How common are gut microbiome related
