The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.

In the published article, there was an error in the legend for Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 7, Table 1 as published. The term "liposomes" is commonly associated with lipid-based drug delivery systems. In our study, we used it to describe the lipid profile in plasma and its potential impact on disease mechanisms, which may cause confusion. The corrected legend appears below.Figure 2 A flow-chart of MR study to explore the causal relationship between lipid and multiple myeloma. Figure 3 The effect of various lipid on multiple myeloma. Figure 4 The causal effect of six plasma lipid on MM risk …… Figure 5 The funnel plot of the causal effect of six plasma lipid on MM risk……Figure 6 Leave-one-out analysis of the causal association between six lipid and MM. Figure7 The reverse MR analysis of MM on six plasma lipid. Table 1 Results of multiplicity and sensitivity analyses of six lipid.In the published article, there was an error. The term "liposomes" is commonly associated with lipid-based drug delivery systems. In our study, we used it to describe the lipid profile in plasma and its potential impact on disease mechanisms, which may cause confusion.A correction has been made to Abstract, Introduction, Materials and methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, page 01-09. This word previously stated: "liposomes"The corrected sentence appears below: "lipid" A correction has been made to Introduction, page 02. This sentence previously stated: "Liposomes, artificial bimolecular membranes composed primarily of phospholipids and cholesterol, are endogenous substances inherent to living organisms. Their compatibility with biological tissues and non-immunogenic nature makes them an ideal medium for drug delivery. As a nanoscale drug delivery system, liposomes have garnered interest for their capacity to
