    This study utilized a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis to explore relationships among gastric cancer, hypertension, and coronary artery disease.

  • 2

    Genetic predisposition to hypertension was found to be inversely associated with gastric cancer risk, while no association was observed in the reverse direction.

  • 3

    The retrospective clinical analysis of 45 individuals did not show a significant link between hypertension and gastric cancer risk.

  • 4

    The findings suggest that hypertension may reduce gastric cancer risk, but the small sample size of the clinical analysis limits its validation.

  • 5

    Further research is needed to clarify the biological mechanisms underlying the observed associations and to validate the findings in larger studies.
