Genetic Epidemiology in Latin America: Identifying Strong Genetic Proxies for Complex Disease Risk Factors.

Genes - 4 May 2020

Bonilla Carolina, Baccarini Lara Novaes

Abstract excerpt

Epidemiology seeks to determine the causal effects of exposures on outcomes related to the health and wellbeing of populations. Observational studies, one of the most commonly used designs in epidemiology, can be biased due to confounding and reverse causation, which makes it difficult to establish causal relationships. In recent times, genetically informed methods, like Mendelian randomization (MR), have been...
