Mendelian randomization as a tool for causal inference in human nutrition and metabolism

3 Dec 2020

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The current review describes the fundamentals of the Mendelian randomization framework and its current application for causal inference in human nutrition and metabolism. RECENT FINDINGS: In the Mendelian randomization framework, genetic variants that are strongly associated with the potential risk factor are used as instrumental variables to determine whether the risk factor is a cause of the...
