Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) are widely used as instruments to infer causal risk factors of diseases based on the idea of mendelian randomization. Plasma metabolites can serve as risk factors of cancer, and the heritability of many circulating metabolites was high. We conducted a metabolome-wide association study (MWAS) to systematically investigate the effects of genetic variants on metabolites and lung cancer...
