Mendelian Randomization versus Path Models: Making Causal Inferences in Genetic Epidemiology.

Human heredity - 1 Jan 2015

Ziegler Andreas, Mwambi Henry, König Inke R

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The term Mendelian randomization is popular in the current literature. The first aim of this work is to describe the idea of Mendelian randomization studies and the assumptions required for drawing valid conclusions. The second aim is to contrast Mendelian randomization and path modeli...
