    Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), a prevalent gastrointestinal disorder globally, exhibits variable prevalence across regions, with higher frequencies observed in Western nations and lower in Asian countries. Key contributing factors encompass unhealthy eating patterns, tobacco use, consumption of alcohol, excess weight, and obesity, along with health conditions such as gestation and diabetes. Common manifestations include heartburn and a burning discomfort behind the breastbone, which, without appropriate management, can progress to more severe issues like esophagitis and Barrett's esophagus. Approaches to management and prevention primarily involve modifications in lifestyle, pharmacotherapy, and surgical interventions when deemed necessary.Utilizing Omics Mendelian Randomization (OMR) to investigate the causative links between genetic variants and diseases provides insights into the biological underpinnings of gastroesophageal reflux diseasec. It aids in pinpointing novel targets for therapy. The influence of amino acids in nutritional management. This insight can aid in developing healthier dietary plans, thereby benefiting patients.
