In this Mendelian randomization study, the existence of a causal relationship between the EGFR and prostate cancer occurrence was assessed using five analytical techniques, including Mendelian randomization-Egger regression (MR-Egger), calculation of the weighted median estimator (WME), the maximum likelihood ratio method, the linear median weighting method and the random-effects inverse-variance weighting (IVW) method. This evidence concerns the gene EGFR and Familial prostate cancer.
