Extending Causality Tests with Genetic Instruments: An Integration of Mendelian Randomization with the Classical Twin Design.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jul 2018

Minică Camelia C, Dolan Conor V, Boomsma Dorret I, de Geus Eco, Neale Michael C

Abstract excerpt

Although experimental studies are regarded as the method of choice for determining causal influences, these are not always practical or ethical to answer vital questions in health and social research (e.g., one cannot assign individuals to a "childhood trauma condition" in studying the causal effects of childhood trauma on depression). Key to solving such questions are observational studies. Mendelian...
