Mendelian Randomization Analysis With Multiple Genetic Variants Using Summarized Data
ABSTRACT Genome‐wide association studies, which typically report regression coefficients summarizing the associations of many genetic variants with various traits, are potential...
The many weak instruments problem and Mendelian randomization
Instrumental variable estimates of causal effects can be biased when using many instruments that are only weakly associated with the exposure. We describe several techniques to ...
Use of allele scores as instrumental variables for Mendelian randomization
Allele scores enable valid causal estimates with large numbers of genetic variants. The stringency of criteria for genetic variants in Mendelian randomization should be maintain...
The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) pilot analysis: Multitissue gene regulation in humans
Expression, genetic variation, and tissues Human genomes show extensive genetic variation across individuals, but we have only just started documenting the effects of this varia...
Detection of widespread horizontal pleiotropy in causal relationships inferred from Mendelian randomization between complex traits and diseases
Horizontal pleiotropy occurs when the variant has an effect on disease outside of its effect on the exposure in Mendelian randomization (MR). Violation of the ‘no horizontal ple...
