‘Mendelian randomization’: can genetic epidemiology contribute to understanding environmental determinants of disease?*
Associations between modifiable exposures and disease seen in observational epidemiology are sometimes confounded and thus misleading, despite our best efforts to improve the de...
Mendelian Randomization in the Era of Genomewide Association Studies
Abstract Background: Observational epidemiology has been instrumental in identifying modifiable causes of common diseases, and, in turn, substantially impacting public health. S...
Mendelian randomization: genetic anchors for causal inference in epidemiological studies
Observational epidemiological studies are prone to confounding, reverse causation and various biases and have generated findings that have proved to be unreliable indicators of ...
Mendelian randomization: Using genes as instruments for making causal inferences in epidemiology
Abstract Observational epidemiological studies suffer from many potential biases, from confounding and from reverse causation, and this limits their ability to robustly identify...
Genome-Wide Association Analysis Identifies Loci for Type 2 Diabetes and Triglyceride Levels
New strategies for prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) require improved insight into disease etiology. We analyzed 386,731 common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (...
