Core Tip	The study by He et al highlights significant genetic associations between ulcerative colitis and anxiety, providing valuable insights into the gut-brain axis. However, it also underscores the need for further research to validate these findings and assess their clinical relevance across diverse populations. Key areas for future investigation include the cost-effectiveness of routine screening for Mendelian traits and the development of personalized treatment strategies targeting genetic and biological mechanisms.
