Causal inference in genetic trio studies.

Abstract excerpt

We introduce a method to draw causal inferences-inferences immune to all possible confounding-from genetic data that include parents and offspring. Causal conclusions are possible with these data because the natural randomness in meiosis can be viewed as a high-dimensional randomized experiment. We make this observation actionable by developing a conditional independence test that identifies regions of the genome...
