This study aims to assess the causal relationship between tyrosine levels and male infertility through two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis. Using genome-wide association study (GWAS) data, we identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with tyrosine levels and applied various methods, including inverse variance weighting (IVW), MR-Egger regression, and weighted median approaches for analysis. The results indicate that for each standard deviation increase in tyrosine levels, the odds ratio (OR) for male infertility is 0.507 (95% CI: −1.203~−0.154, P < 0.05), suggesting that higher tyrosine levels may be significantly associated with a reduced risk of male infertility. Sensitivity analysis further confirmed the robustness of the primary analysis, showing no significant heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy, indicating that the selected instrumental variables are suitable for causal inference. These findings suggest that tyrosine may play an important role in male reproductive health and provide new directions for future research on infertility prevention and treatment. %K 男性不育症, %K 酪氨酸, %K 孟德尔随机化
