Mendelian randomization in (epi)genetic epidemiology: an effective tool to be handled with care.

Genome biology - 14 Jul 2016

Latvala Antti, Ollikainen Miina

Abstract excerpt

A study examining blood lipid traits takes epigenomics approaches to the next level by using carefully performed Mendelian randomization to assess causality rather than simply reporting associations.See related research article: http://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13059-016-1000-6.
