Approximation of bias and mean-squared error in two-sample Mendelian randomization analyses.

Abstract excerpt

Mendelian randomization (MR) is a type of instrumental variable (IV) analysis that uses genetic variants as IVs for a risk factor to study its causal effect on an outcome. Extensive investigations on the performance of IV analysis procedures, such as the one based on the two-stage least squares (2SLS) procedure, have been conducted under the one-sample scenario, where measures on IVs, the risk factor, and the...
